In this article, we would like to show you how to call a function of a module by using its name as a string in Python.

Quick solution:

import math

method = getattr(math, "sqrt")
print(method(16))  # 4.0

 

Practical example

In this example, we use getattr() method to get the sqrt method from math module.

import math

method = getattr(math, "sqrt")
result = method(16)

print(result)   # 4.0

Output:

4.0
