Specifying object property in dot notation with a variable
python
Solution
You are looking for `getattr`:
`getattr(handler.request, 'GET')` is the same as `handler.request.GET`.
So you can do
method = "GET"
getattr(handler.request, method).add()
Problem
Is it possible to access a property/method on a Python object with a variable and how? Example: ``` handler.request.GET.add() ``` I'd like to replace the 'GET' part by capturing the method beforehand into a variable and then using it in the dot notation. ``` method = handler.method handler.request.{method}.add() ``` I just can't see where/how to do that.
