Try getattr:
textVariable = "Replace"
getattr(operations, textVariable) == operations.Replace

Perhaps you could just store the result in your list; instead of  
["Replace", "ChangeCase", "Move"], use [operations.Replace,  
operations.ChangeCase, operations.Move] (it's not always applicable, of  
course: maybe operations is reassigned, or those attributes mutate or  
don't always exist...)
