Call method from string

Question

If I have a Python class, and would like to call a function from it depending on a variable, how would I do so? I imagined following could do it:

class CallM         


        

Answer 1

You can do this:

getattr(CallMe, variable)()

getattr is a builtin method, it returns the value of the named attributed of object. The value in this case is a method object that you can call with ()
