convert a string to a method call ?

[Werner Schiendl]

Hi,

how about

>>> class X:
...  def bunch(self):
...   print "bunch"
...  def of(self):
...   print "of"
...  def methods(self):
...   print "methods"
...
>>> xObj = X()
>>> meth = "of"
>>> tocall = getattr(xObj, meth)
>>> tocall()
of
>>> meth = "bunch"
>>> tocall = getattr(xObj, meth)
>>> tocall()
bunch
