How to call a string as a function in Python

Question

I have a string A:

import keyboard

A = "keyboard.press_and_release('left windows+R')"

But, I want it to work as a function. If I call A, then it should press Windows Key and R key present on y keyboard.

Don't have it as a string. – Stefan Pochmann Oct 01 '17 at 07:48 — Stefan Pochmann, Oct 01 '17 at 07:48

You can use eval:

a = "keyboard.press_and_release('left windows+R')"
eval(a)
