dynamic invoke

[Sushant]

I did not know about getattr and it is the right thing. 

getattr seems to be converting string into function pointer and I am just 
saying that string cannot be used as a function pointer in Python as may be 
in PHP.

I copied the PHP code so I did not replace arrow with  dot. Good point :)
