Python / Call class method by name

class Test:
    def do(self):
        print("Test.do()")

        name = 'status'

        methodName = 'set' + name.capitalize()

        print('Method name: ' + methodName)

        method = getattr(self, 'setStatus')

        if method is None:
            print("Method is not valid.")
            return

        method(5)
        method("abcde")

    def setStatus(self, value):
        print("Test.setStatus() value=" + str(value))

test = Test()

test.do()

Output:

Test.do()
Method name: setStatus
Test.setStatus() value=5
Test.setStatus() value=abcde
