Thanks for the help.  The __dict__.values() is something I have not
previously looked into but it does not work as desired because python
wants an instance of the class.  How can I cast an object if I don't
know what type of object it is (example.ticker, in this debug)?

>>> modname = sensorsList[0].__name__
>>> m = __import__(modname)
>>> for anobj in m.__dict__.values():
	if hasattr(anobj, 'do_foobar'):
		anobj.do_foobar()

		
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#76>", line 3, in ?
    anobj.do_foobar()
TypeError: unbound method do_foobar() must be called with ticker
instance as first argument (got nothing instead)
