 >>> class Foo(object):
...     def __init__(self):
...             for method in dir(self):
...                     if method == method.strip("_"):
...				f = getattr(self, method)
...				if callable(f): f()
...     def test(self):
...             print "in test..."
...     def hello(self):
...             print "in hello..."
...
 >>> x = Foo()
in hello...
in test...


This does assume that the method's signature takes no parameters 
and that you don't want to try and call "special" methods such as 
__add__ or "private" methods (usually indicated by leading 
underscores too) while you're going through the available methods.
