Pretty much the same:
    getattr(sys.modules[__name__], attribname)

If you have the attribute name as a string variable,
you won't be able to do much more than getattr in any
case.  The only issue left is how to get the current
module object, and sys.modules[__name__] is the normal
approach for that.

A different, simpler approach reaching the same goal:

    globals()[attribname]

globals() returns the _dictionary_ of the current
module, so you simply subscript it.
