Lets assume that either
1) You only define functions (bind function names) in the module, or
2) You start any other top-level names with '_' so that they do not get 
imported.

import utilfuncs
funcs = vars(utilfuncs) # dict of name:func pairs
names = funcs.keys()

# display names and ask user to select 'inputname'
# then, assuming no args

output = funcs[inputname]()
