If the code really looks like this:
# one-time-only code
big_dispatch_table = {}
for function, keys in [
(doStuff, ["abc", "def", "xyz"]),
(doOtherStuff, ["pqr", "tuv", "123"]),
... ]:
for key in keys:
big_dispatch_table[key] = function
Then your actual code goes something like:
big_dispatch_table[x]()
