python use bound method of a class created by string variable -

i have possible stupid question regarding python forgive me in advance. have following class in file check.py in folder checks:

class check(object):   def __init__(self):      print "i initialized"    def get_name():     return "my name check" 

and class loaded through variable string following function:

def get_class( kls ):   parts = kls.split('.')   module = ".".join(parts[:-1])   m = __import__( module )   comp in parts[1:]:       m = getattr(m, comp)               return m 

i have reasons create class defined string variable don't try circumvent this.

now when run following:

from checks import *  # __init__.py correct of 1 s="check" cl=get_class("checks."+s+"."+s.title()) a=cl() print str(a) print "name="+str(a.get_name) 

i following output:

i initialized <checks.check.check object @ 0x0000000002db8940> name=<bound method check.get_name of <checks.check.check object @ 0x0000000002db8940>> 

now question: there way can access check.get_name method? can result "my name check"?

`

you need change check.get_name definition:

class check(object):     def __init__(self):         print "i initialized"      def get_name(self):         return "my name check" 

then can access following code:

from checks import *  # __init__.py correct of 1 s="check" cl=get_class("checks."+s+"."+s.title()) a=cl() print a.get_name()
