How can i execute a list of methods on an object in Python

Question

I have a list of methods which I have to execute on an Object. These are the methods

methods = ['plays', 'plays', 'is', 'is']
relation_dict = {}

I want to get a relation dictionary which looks like this

relation_dict = {'plays':FOAF.plays,'plays':FOAF.plays, 'is':FOAF.is, 'is':FOAF.is}

here FOAF is the object. How can we do this?

Yes you are right it is an XY problem now that you mentioned it became clear that i can't do the problem like this. — Arya Stark

@j1-lee I want to associate the strings in the list to FOAF.string_name so that it will perform that FOAF thing on my string_name — Arya Stark

you could achive something similar like this :

obj = FOAF
for i in methods: 
   getattr(obj, i)() # <-- this will call the needed method

Good luck :)

This is an oneliner way:

methods = ['plays', 'plays', 'is', 'is']
relation_dict = {method: getattr(FOAF, method) for method in methods}
