In addition to Diez's point, I'd also point out you can do that from
outside the class:
Python 2.3.4 (#1, Jan 25 2005, 21:29:33)
[GCC 3.4.3 (Gentoo Linux 3.4.3, ssp-3.4.3-0, pie-8.7.6.6)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> class Simple:
... def hello(self):
... print "hello"
...
>>> s = Simple()
>>> getattr(s, "hello")()
hello
>>>
which may be more useful depending on what you are doing. I mention this
because you are essentially re-implementing 'getattr' as a method of your
object and it is likely you don't *really* want to do that, but I don't
know, since we don't know what you are doing with this.
