function name from a variable

my problem is that,

no = 256
txt = "test"

def test_256():
print "this function name is test_256"

fname = "%s_%s"% (txt, no)

fname()

but it doesn't work.
how can I use a variable to function name

best regards

How about this?

Code:

f1 = "hel"
f2 = "lo"
def hello(name): 
    print "Hello", name

my_func = eval("%s%s"%(f1, f2))

my_func("World")
