In Django, I can do this:

test = Test.objects.get(id=1)
test.name

I want to be able to access the properties using dynamically generated strings, like this:

test['name']

or, any other syntax using a string. I tried

test._meta.get_field_by_name('name')

but this returns the field itself and not the value.

Any ideas?

    You can use python’s built in getattr() function:

    getattr(test, 'name')
