Strangely enough if I `return dir(MyScripts)`, from `handleMessage()`, it leads with a list of all of the objects at the same level -- namely my other Project Library contents. I would have expected it to return only the fuctions _within_ the `MyScripts` library. The object seems to have been injected with references to its peers somehow.

```auto
return getattr(someLibraryScript, payload.pop('functionNameKey'))(payload)

```

This is an improvement, an intermediate solution. It would let me abstract into a given library without access to every library (except for the apparent knowledge of its neighbors?).

You are importing them, I presume. Don't do that.

Every name you create at the top level of a library script is in that script's globals() dictionary. Whether you assign it, `def` a function, declare a class, or import from elsewhere.

The the library `MyScripts` only has `import socket` and `import sys` and only within defined functions.

No assignments?

Nope, that library is mostly full of helper methods that I am using to tinker, like "send\_tcp".
