I currently have an object instance lets call it myObject. This myObject has methods like executeX, executeY etc. I want to pass this methods as strings such that I can do something like command = data.get('do') then myObject.command and have command be treated as an attribute. How can I achieve this??

You can't. `myObject.command` will access the attribute *named command*, the object also named command is uninvolved. If you want to access attributes from a string of their name, use `getattr`. – jonrsharpe Mar 10 '19 at 16:18
