Say I've got a variable with the value 'do_something', and I have an an
object that happens to have a do_something method. How can I call that
method based on the value of the variable? Preferably without using
eval() or similar.
I can't turn up anything about this on Google or in the documentation
I've searched, but maybe Python just doesn't use the terminology I know
from Objective-C.

and the fact that the 'net has all these human-equivalent peripheral devices
called "users" that can be appropriated in a distributed way to attack problems.
