Hi Luigi Ballabio,
Thankyou very much for your reply, it worked well.
It does work in most cases, but "getattr(self, methodName)" is generally to be preferred over "vars(self.__class__)[methodName]", as the latter does not use Python's standard attribute lookup scheme.
The semantics of the following two statements are basically identical: getattr(t, 'bar')() t.bar()
Using vars() directly, however, results in a slightly different lookup process that will *usually* give the same answer as above, but not always. It's that 'not always' which can end up hurting. . .
Regards, Nick.
