Hello,

I can't get getattr() to return nested functions, I tried this :

>>> def toto():
...     def titi():
...             pass
...     f = getattr(toto, "titi")
...     print str(f)
...
>>> toto()
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
 File "<stdin>", line 4, in toto
AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'titi'
>>>

I thought that since functions are objects, that I could obtain it's nested functions. How come it doesn't work and what can I do to fix/replace it? I'm using it in code that is like this :

def __test(self, action, *args):
       def request(params):
           pass
def submit(params, values):
           pass
def update(params, values):
           pass
def delete(params):
           pass
result = getattr(__test, action)(*args) return resultToXml(result)

where "action" is a string containing either "request", "submit", "update", or "delete". I was using an evel() with this form :

result = eval(action + "(params, values)")

but I didn't find that very clean.

Thank you,
Gabriel
