Will this work for you?:

import operator
op = operator.lt
a = 10
b = 20
if op(a, b):
print "a is less than b"

the "operator" module contains functions corresponding to all builtin
operators:

import operator

ops = {
"==": operator.eq,
"!=": operator.ne,
"<>": operator.ne,
"<": operator.lt,
"<=": operator.le,
">": operator.gt,
">": operator.ge
}

op = "<"

a = 10
b = 20

if ops[op](a, b):
print "a is less than b"
