Probably a stupid question... name-->method lookup

[Emile van Sebille]

Well, getattr et al better answer the question.  But to answer your
question, the eval wierdness was because a was embedded in a string.  ;-)

new mantra:  If you want to know the right way to do something, post a
response showing the wrong way to do it.  - Always works.  ;-)
