[Zope] How do I use variable variables in pythonscript?

I would like to do something like the following: <dtml-var "_[getform('do')]"> where getform('do') returns the name of the method that is then called, but I want to do it from a python script, that is, given a variable or a function, I would like to evaluate what it stands for, for instance: for action in things_to_do: context.action() where things_to_do is a list of names for method calls that I want to execute in the python script's context. Is there a way to do this? What about something like the python script equivalent of the dtml: <dtml-var "_[getform('do')+'_view']"> Thanks, Jason
