Python은 문자열을 통해 객체 속성이나 메서드를 호출합니다.

  ...:  return eval('str.%s' % x)(char)
  ...:

In [635]: getmethod('upper')
Out[635]: 'JUST FOR TEST'

In [650]: def getmethod2(x, char='just for test'):
  ...:  return getattr(char, x)()
  ...:

In [651]: getmethod2('upper')
Out[651]: 'JUST FOR TEST'

In [648]: def getmethod3(x, char='just for test'):

  ...:

In [649]: getmethod3('upper')
