Running command from user input

I am wanting to create a CLI that will accept input from the user and run commands based on what they input.

def apple():
    print("Apple")

def orange():
    print("Orange")

def grape():
    print("Grape")


userinput = input("Which function do you want to run? ")

userinput()

What I am trying to get to work is, when the user enters "Orange" it will print Orange. Same for apple and grape. My real project will incorporate a lot more functions the user can input but this is the part I am stuck on at the moment.

If I understood you correctly, here's how I would implement something like that:

class Commands:
    @staticmethod
    def _apple():
        print("Apple")

    @staticmethod
    def _orange():
        print("Orange")

    @staticmethod
    def _grape():
        print("Grape")

    def run(self, cmd_name):
        getattr(Commands, '_' + cmd_name.lower())()

You can then run it with Commands.run(input())
