Can you use -getattr- to get a function in the current module?

[Sergio Correia]

This works:

# Module spam.py

import eggs

print getattr(eggs, 'omelet')(100)

That is, I just call the function omelet inside the module eggs and
evaulate it with the argument 100.

But what if the function 'omelet' is in the module where I do the
getattr (that is, in spam.py). If I do any of this

print getattr(spam, 'omelet')(100)
print getattr('','omelet')(100)
print getattr('omelet')(100)

It wont work. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Sergio

globals() returns a dict of all globals defined so far, so, _after_ 'def
omelet ...' has executed, globals()['omelet'](100) should be OK.
