Parameter 'Reflection' for python, using functions as objects

[jerryolive]

The below code works, but the default value for the test method will be None.

I'm trying to figure out how to read input from the user, convert that into a list (or whatever), and then based on the number of arguments the user inputs, it will be sent into the function.

The function could change, so I'm stuck with a problem.

class ConsolePop3Client(SimplePop3Client):
  prompt="$> "
  args_prompt="-->"
  commands=None

  def __init__(self,host,port=110,timeout=None):
    SimplePop3Client.__init__(self,host,port,timeout) 
    self.commands=\
      {
        "test" : self.test
      }

  def test(self,x=None):
    print x


  def run(self):
    command=""
    while (command != "exit"):
      command=raw_input(self.prompt)
#howto get args into func where len(args) may change, and func may also change.
      self.commands[command]()
