Yes, a long list is uglier than a short list. This will be true no
matter how you represent the list. The question I was addressing is:
GIVEN A LONG LIST of name->function pairs, how do we more cleanly
deal with them?
Besides, if this particular implementation offends you, there are lots
of other options:
======================================
command = {}
def command_foo(args):
# do some stuff
command['foo'] = command_foo
def command_bar(args):
# do some stuff
command['bar'] = command_bar
.
.
.
==================================
command = {}
for name, value in globals().items():
if name.startswith('command_'):
command[name] = value
==================================
and many more...
