There are a number of things which I have been used to doing in other OO languages which I have not yet figured out how to do in Python, the most important of which is passing method names as args and inserting them into method calls. Here are two cases I have been trying to figure out for a current project.
The first is passing methods to dispatcher methods. In pseudocode, something like this: def dispatcher(self,methodname): self.obj1.methodname() self.obj2.methodname() and another case is selecting behavior of an object by setting a type string, with pseudo code like this: self.IBM029 = re.compile([^acharset] self.IBM026 = re.compile([^anothercharset] self.type = "IBM029" errs = self.(self.type).findall(aCardImage) I have yet to find any way to do either, although it appears I could do some of it using a long and roundabout call string using __dict__. What is the Python dialect for this sort of runtime OO?
