Some would agree and claim that using an import is better:

c = (1, 2)
thisModule = __import__(__name__)
func = getattr(thisModule, 'dothat')
func(*c)

I don't generally find that more readable than the one with globals(), 
and I don't offhand recall any serious criticism of globals() on grounds 
of either readability or style, so I'm unsure why anyone would prefer 
the alternative.
