Grabbing a object from the current code block using a callable statement?

[ChaosKCW]

Hi

Is it possible to grab get an object returned from a string and a
callable ? e.g

I pass in a key value pair:

def somemethod(adict = {'new name for object': '<code to reutrn
obejct>'}):

object = .....

    for key, value in adict.items():
        if callable(value):
            somedict[key] = value()
        else:
            somedict[key] = value

such that

somedict  = {'new name for object': object} 

??

Thanks,
