Question

If suppose i have a class name as a string, how can i use reflection to invoke its static member known before-hand? Some like this:

someInspectionMechanism("FooClass").staticMethod()

Answer 1

Use locals() or globals() to get the namespace dictionary, and look for a class with the name you want. The fact that you’re using a static method is not relevant.

Example:

class Test:
    @staticmethod
    def method():
        return 'called static method'

assert locals()['Test'].method() == 'called static method'
