Creating a Dispatcher with getattr

• 1. A statsout module defines three functions, output_html, output_xml, and output_text. Then the main program defines a single output function, like this:

     1. import statsout

     2. def output(data, format="text"):

     3. output_function = getattr(statsout, "output_%s" % format)

     4. return output_function(data)
