If your inputs are strings of the right form (or can be turned into
such strings), you can use them to construct function (or method)
names directly:

	  def process(cmd):
	      action = globals().get("process_cmd_%s" % cmd)
	      if not action:
		 print "Invalid command"
		 return      
	      action ()
