Assume we have 2 methods, one called Fire and the other __DoSomething. I want the param which is a string to be converted, that I can fire directly a method. Is it somehow possible in python, instead of writing if else statements ???! Tamer class(object): def Fire(self,param) #possible ?! self.__param(): def _DoSomething(self): print 'I did it!'
