Get a method instance through 'getattr' but not superclass's method

[Radhakrishna Bhat]

Thanks. I just have to check in that string if method1 is from present in
subclass's __dict__ or not.
This is important for me because in my code, I am dynamically calling
methods of 2 classes where one is superclass of the other. And I was getting
duplicate results because of this problem.
