getattr() in default namespace.

[SimonVC]

Hi group, long time reader first time poster (ive always wanted to say
that).

How do you use getattr() to get a refernce to a function defined in
the default namespace..

eg:

>>> dir()
['__doc__', '__name__', 'b1', 'b2', 'b3', 'rd']

>>> b1
<function b1 at 1876939>
>>> getattr(self, "b1")

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in ?
NameError: self

>>> getattr("b1")
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: getattr(): expected 2-3 args; got 1
