Thanks that's exactly what I was looking for :-)

The code I posted before is to be part of a dispatcher for a django
application. Objects are routed to 'add', 'edit', or 'delete' methods.
Data for some of the fields/attributes of my django models objects
needs to be preprocessed.

However, as the add/edit/delete methods are used for multiple objects
I need to determine dynamically if a particular preprocessor needs to
be called.
