Hi, I'm trying to understand the syntax for reflection in python. I was wondering about this.
From the example on diveintopython: http://diveintopython.org/power_of_introspection/index.html import statsout def output(data, format="text"): output_function = getattr(statsout, "output_%s" % format, statsout.output_text) return output_function(data) I was wondering about how to make this work if the function that you are trying to call is not in a module. Is that possible? Something like this: def output_text(data): return_value = "This is text: " + data return return_value def output(data, format="text"): output_function = getattr(*****, "output_%s" % format, statsout.output_text) return output_function(data) What I can't figure out is what to put in place of *****. I've tried globals()['__name__'], in various forms, to no avail. Any pointers would be appreciated. thanks, Pete
