At least in Py2.x you can use reduce:

  reduce(lambda value, fn: fn(value), [list_of_functions], myval)

I believe it was moved into functools.reduce() in Py3.x meaning you
might want to do something like

  try:
    reduce # see if it's already in __builtins__
  except NameError: # running Py3...
    from functools import reduce

or

  try:
    from functools import reduce
  except ImportError:
    pass  # it should already be in __builtins__ for pre-2.6

at the top to make sure it's in your global namespace.
