George - Thanks for your reply but what you suggested is not working:

def FA(param1,param2):
    print "FA" + param1 + " " + param2
def FA(param1,param2):
    print "FB" + param1 + " " + param2
def FA(param1,param2):
    print "FC" + param1 + " " + param2

temp = sys.argv[1]

func = globals()["F" + temp]
func("Hello", "World")


I ran the script with first parameter as B and i get the following
message
KeyError: 'FB'
