I'm parsing a simple file and given a line's keyword, would like to call
the equivalently named function.
There are 3 ways I can think to do this (other than a long if/elif
construct):
1. eval()
2. Convert my functions to methods and use getattr( myClass, "method" )
3. Place all my functions in dictionary and lookup the function to be
called
Any suggestions on the "best" way to do this?
No reason to use eval.
use either getattr(obj, "method")() or functions['method']
They are basically the same thing.
The dict of functions is a bit safer. You don't risk calling a built in
method on your object . Which you risk doing with something like:
getattr(obj, 'join')
