the second one is probably the one that needs clarifying.
How do you know which functions should be callable? Adam's approach to
expressing that knowledge is to use a dictionary:
d = {"foo" : foo}
And there are many other ways of doing this besides a hardcoded
dictionary.
Tell us more about what you mean for a function to be "approved", and we
should be able to suggest practical ways to do what you want.
