Hello,

I have a list of class instances. I wish to get the appropriate class attribute in each class instance depending on a SINGLE keyword in the calling class.

How do I get the calling method to correctly recognise the keyword as a keyword and not a class attribute? See example code below (which doesn't work).

class tocall:
    def __init__(self):
        self.title = "test"
    self.name = "name"

def callingmethod(self,**kw):
    for key in kw:
      if tocall.key == kw[key]:
           return tocall.key

which should work as such(but doesn't):

print callmethod(title = "test")
print callmethod(name = "name")

Regards,

Guy

Hi,

This may be more like you want.

class tocall:
    def __init__(self):
        self.title = "test"
        self.name = "name"

def callmethod(**kw):
    for key in kw:
      if hasattr(tocall(), key):
            return getattr(tocall(), key)

print callmethod(title = "test")
print callmethod(name = "name")
