Call python instance method, given the instance and function objects of the instance method?










0















In Python, given an instance of a class, and the class method objects, is it possible to call the corresponding instance method? E.g.



class MyClass:
def doA(self):
print("A")
def doB(self):
print("B")

methodA = MyClass.doA
methodB = MyClass.doB
instance = MyClass()


Am I somehow able to invoke instance.doA(), but given the methodA object? e.g.



instance.__invoke__(methodA)

    Yes, you would instead call methodA(instance).

  • Ah, perfect. I fumbled around with the search terms for a bit but came out empty-handed. What are some keywords that I should've googled for this?

    The reason for that call signature is that self is the instance when called as a method
