The keys of the fnspec dictionary defines the function name, the values are tuples of function arguments and function implementations. (Note that in this trivial example you could be done with defining only one function, since they both do the same.)

Thanks, Ludo.

I'll see if that sort of approach will work for my model.

I looked through a number of examples in the 'tests' directory of
the distribution.
It seems as if 'sloppycell_example.py' contains something very
similar to what I need. Specifically, it defines an 'assignments'
dictionary that contains expressions using various parameters:

'assignments': {'CLB2T_21': 'CLB2_20 + C2_4 + C2P_5 + F2_29 +
F2P_30', 'F_28': 'exp(-mu_39 * D_26)', 'mu_39': 'log(2) / mdt_216',
'Vacdh_58': 'kacdh_126 + kacdh_127 * CDC14_8', ...}

I'll need to read through 'makeSloppyModel.py' to see how this can
be used in a model.

Kind regards,
