title: Can XML-RPC methods be called by name (as strings) in Python?
body: <p>In python, calling XML-RPC methods involves invoking methods on a proxy object:</p>
  
  <pre><code>from xmlrpclib import ServerProxy
  print ServerProxy('https://example.com/rpc').api.hello_there('John')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In some other languages, like perl, you pass your method name as a method parameter.</p>
  
  <pre><code>use Frontier::Client;
  $p = Frontier::Client-&gt;new(url =&gt; 'https://example.com/rpc');
  $result = $p-&gt;call('api.hello_there', 'John');
  print $result;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a way to invoke XML-RPC methods by name, as strings, in Python?</p>
