You can also use exec, but someone will tell you that the sky is going
to fall if you do.  I am one of the ones who think that calling a
function with
results = [f() for f in funcs]
doesn't "work" because it gives a meaningless error message that the
calling line didn't work.  There is already enough discussion about
this, so if you use "some_string()" to call a function, wrap it in a
try/except with a traceback.
