First off, calling *every* method of an object is most likely a bad
idea. A class has special methods defined automatically and you
probably don't intend calling those. The way to go is have a naming
convention for the methods you want to call, e.g. methods starting with
"dump_". In this case you could use the inspect module to pick the
object's methods and filter out the irrelevant methods:
import inspect
class Foo(object):
def __init__(self):
for name,method in inspect.getmembers(self,inspect.ismethod):
if name.startswith('dump_'):
method()
def dump_f(self):
print 'The test method'
def dump_g(self):
print 'Hello user'
if __name__ == '__main__':
Foo()
