The attribute in question is a callable, a method most probably. So getattr(self, command) returns a reference to the method, and the following (cursor, row) calls it with cursor and row as parameters. You could rewrite it as method = getattr(self, command) print method method(cursor, row) Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
