Define a helper function to do it:

def create_funcs_caller(i):
    def func(*args,**kwargs):
        return(Funcs2[i](*args,**kwargs)[IndDict[left_arr_indexes
[i]]]))
    retirm func

for i in xrange(len(Funcs2)):
    Funcs.append(create_funcs_caller(i))


(I prefer to do it this way in any case; never liked the keyword
argument hack way of doing it.)
