I'm using a package called sk-rf. The class provided has numerous methods. I built a wrapper around that class, and I want to use methods of that class based on string as follows:

my_string = "method1"

object.my_string()

I can do with with exec and eval, but I want something elegant, pro and not hacky.

Notice that object is an instance of class that I built on top of the class provided by that package. – Alex Feb 17 '20 at 11:06
Also, I don't want if statements cause there's a lot of methods – Alex Feb 17 '20 at 11:07
