I know I can do the following:
=20
>>> s =3D 'lower'
>>> getattr(s, 'upper')()
'LOWER'
=20
But how could I do the same if I had the method 'address' (better
name???) vs. method name?
=20
>>> upper_method =3D s.upper
=20
How do I combine this upper_method with string s to execute the method
and return 'LOWER'?
=20
Thank you,
Malcolm
