  Description     : Lightweight function registries for your library

  Tiny, zero-dependencies library that makes it easy to add function (or object)
  registries to your code. Function registries are helpful when you have objects
  that need to be both easily serializable and fully customizable. Instead of
  passing a function into your object, you pass in an identifier name, which the
  object can use to lookup the function from the registry. This makes the object
  easy to serialize, because the name is a simple string. If you instead saved
  the function, you'd have to use Pickle for serialization, which has many
  drawbacks.
 
I plan to maintain this package as part of the Python modules team.
