    You've created a Python function in a Python module. Now let's use
    this function in the External Method.

       Let's say i write a python module myModule.py with two functions (funct1 and funct2) in it. Is it possible to
       have the same External Method (say extM) referring myModule.py and executing funct1 *OR* funct2 upon need? I
       would like to call the method through the web with something like .../extM/funct1 or .../extM/func2 depending
       on run time considerations.
       Put another way, an external method points a function (inside a python module) or can be bound dynamically to
       any function of that module?

       No... but you could define three functions in the module, use one as an external method, and have it call one
       of the other two functions in the same module based on runtime considerations.
