getattr helps. However, your example won't work: it misses either a staticmethod-declaration, or a self-argument, or a classmethod and cls-argument. So unless we know if bar shall be an instance.method or not, it's hard to tell what exactly you want. Because you could want getattr(getattr(mymodule, "foo"), "bar") Or getattr(getattr(mymodule, "foo")(), "bar") (notice the parentheses) or getattr(getattr(locals(), "foo"), "bar") or getattr(getattr(globals(), "foo"), "bar") Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
