Get bound method by name

[Johannes Bauer]

Hello group,

I'm looking for a Python function but have forgotten it's name.
Essentially what I want is:

class Foo():
	def bar(self):
		pass

x = Foo()
y = x.MAGIC("bar")
print(y)
<bound method Foo.bar of <__main__.Foo instance at 0xb7e11fcc>>

So the question is: How is the magic function called which returns me
the bound method of a class instance by its name? I know there was a way
but just can't remember...

Thanks in advance,
Kind regards,
Johannes
