How can I make the following functionality compatible with versions of Python earlier than Python 2.7?
gwfuncs = [reboot, flush_macs, flush_cache, new_gw, revert_gw, send_log]
gw_func_dict = {chr(2**i): func for i, func in enumerate(gwfuncs[:8])}

Method 1
Use:
gw_func_dict = dict((chr(2**i), func) for i, func in enumerate(gwfuncs[:8]))
That’s the dict() function with a generator expression producing (key, value) pairs.
Or, to put it generically, a dict comprehension of the form:
{key_expr: value_expr for targets in iterable <additional loops or if expressions>}
can always be made compatible with Python < 2.7 by using:
dict((key_expr, value_expr) for targets in iterable <additional loops or if expressions>)
