In the sample program below, I want to send a random method to a class
instance.
In other words, I don't know which method to send until run-time. How
can I send ch, which is my random choice, to the myclass instance?
Thanks,

ch=random.choic e(meths)
c.ch()
Thanks for your responses, everybody. Turned out to be easiest to use
Arnaud's Getattr suggestion. Below is a simplification of what I
ended up with; the trick appears in the algday class.
"""
I have dictionaries of OHLC tuples (open, high, low, close market
prices) for two hypothetical stocks (HUN and TEN); the dictionaries
are keyed to dates.
For each day that we have data, we want to be able to evaluate an
algorithm of the form:
(mysum 'HUN' 'open' 'TEN', close)
in other words, to add the opening value of HUN to the closing value
of TEN.
Stock names and market values are stored in two lists: namelist and
valuelist. Namelist contains the stock symbols (HUN, TEN). Valuelist
contains dictionaries keyed to dates. Associated in the dictionary
with
each date is a tuple containing OHLC prices. Note that even in this
sample
we have to allow for days when one stock has market values
and the other stock doesn't, as in the case of 20080424.
We use a class algday, which, given an algorithm and day, has a method
calc() which returns the result of applying that algorithm to the day.
This class (algday) uses another class, namedayval, which, given a
stock name and a
OHLC valuename, returns the value.
