just add the parameters to the call:

    dispatch[value](string, list) # note: do the call here!

in Python, an explicit call is always written as

    expression(argument list)

where expression yields a callable object.  in your original case,
the expression was a bound method; in the modified example,
the expression is a dictionary lookup.  the actual call part looks
the same way, in both cases.
