This was the best name I could come up with for the topic and none of my searches yielded information relevant to the question.
How do I call a function from a string, i.e.
functions_to_call = ['func_1', 'func_2', 'func_3'] for f in functions_to_call: call f
Edited to add:
Yes, eval() generally is a bad idea, but this is what the OP was looking for.
