Hi,

I've been looking around the CherryPy documentation, but can't quite get my head around what I want to do. I suspect it might be more of a Python thing than a CherryPy thing...

My current class looks something like this:

import managerUtils

class WebManager:
    def A(self, **kwds):
        return managerUtils.runAction("A", kwds)
    A.enabled = True

    def B(self, **kwds):
        return managerUtils.runAction("B", kwds)
    B.enabled = True

    def C(self, **kwds):
        return managerUtils.runAction("C", kwds)
    C.enabled = True

Obviously there's a lot of repetition in here.

in managerUtils.py, I have a dict that's something like:

actions = {'A': functionToRunForA,
           'B': functionToRunForB,
           'C': functionToRunForC}

Okay, so that's a slightly simplistic view of it, but I'm sure you get the idea.

I want to be able to do something like:

import managerUtils

class WebManager:
    def __init__(self):
        for action in managerUtils.actions:
            f = registerFunction(action)
            f.enabled = True

Any ideas of how to do this?
