Question

I have the following class;

class myStringMethod():
    def __init__(self):
        self.func_list= [('func1','print_func1()'),('func2','print_func2()')]

    def print_func1(self, name):
        print name

    def print_func2(self, name):
        print name

    def call_func_by_name(self):
        for func in self.func_list:
            getattr(self, func[1])('Func Name')

if __name__=='__main__':
    strM = myStringMethod()
    strM.call_func_by_name() #Nothing prints out!

No functions get called out, what am i missing?

Answer 1

your self.func_list should be:

self.func_list= [('func1','print_func1'),('func2','print_func2')]

And the way your code is written it will, of course, print 'Func Name'. I guess you probably meant to pass func[0] there.

Working example:

>>> class myStringMethod():
    def __init__(self):
        self.func_list= [('func1','print_func1'),('func2','print_func2')]

    def print_func1(self, name):
        print(name)

    def print_func2(self, name):
        print(name)

    def call_func_by_name(self):
        for func in self.func_list:
            getattr(self, func[1])('Func Name')

>>> myStringMethod().call_func_by_name()
Func Name
Func Name
