It tells me the only way to call a python function is to callout to python to pass back a function object which I then save so I can call it when I need to.  This seems ridiculous.  Surely there is a way to obtain Python function objects without going through that!  Does somebody have a way to ask for a function by name?

Ask whom ? Obtain from where ?

and what is made difficult ?
