[Tutor] OO refactoring trial ??

OO refactoring trial
====================
Following is a simple trial structure of a refactoring (top-down to OO) 
learning exercise I'm doing.  Whether you call it a Factory pattern, COR 
pattern, or some hinze 57, I don't know what class to use till run time and 
I'm trying to avoid a lengthy "if" sequence, the test sequence is important, 
and to avoid code duplication I'll be using code objects in the "doit" 
methods.

You've already given me many good ideas in previous threads and this is where 
it got you :~)  This works, but would you please tell me:
1) What you don't like about the approach
2) The implications of using this in a recursive approach (referenced from 
but outside the recursive function) and if the decorators help with such.  
3) Any other comments you might offer

Thank you,
Lee C


=========== ootest.py 
============
class MF(object):
  @staticmethod
  def findit(t):
    for it in MF.__subclasses__():
      if it.testit(t):
        return it().doit
      
class A(MF):
  @staticmethod
  def testit(tv):
    if tv == 'relates to A':
      return True
    else:    
      return False
  
  def doit(self):
    print '# did A #'
    
class B(MF):
  @staticmethod
  def testit(tv):
    if tv == 'relates to B':
      return True
    else:    
      return False
  
  def doit(self):
    print '# did B #'
    
mydoit = MF.findit('relates to B')
mydoit() 

mydoit = MF.findit('relates to A')
mydoit()
