    # Get the testAdd method or attribute of MathTest
test=getattr(MathTest,'testAdd')

>>> class A:
...     def myX(self):
...             print 'xxx'
...
>>> a=A()
>>> af=getattr(a,'myX')
>>> apply(af)
xxx
>>> af()
xxx
        # Get the name of 'a'
>>> print a
<__main__.A instance at 7f79d0>
>>> print `a`
<__main__.A instance at 7f79d0>
>>> print str(a)
<__main__.A instance at 7f79d0>
>>> print af
<method A.myX of A instance at 7f79d0>
