You can try defining this class attribute:
data_types = set("nocall DOB gender Prematurity email languages phone
cname pname address duedate".split())
And then a possible method can be:
def parse(self, data, data_type):
if data_type in Classname.data_types:
getattr(self, "__parse_" + data_type)(data)
If performance isn't a problem you can move data_types inside the
parse method.
If performance is a problem, data_types may become a dict, whose
values are references to the methods. That you can use as:
def parse(self, data, data_type):
if data_type in data_types:
data_types[data_type](data)
Or even as (but may be a little slower):
def parse(self, data, data_type):
data_types.get(data_type, lambda x: None)(data)
