I am working with python. I want to know whether or not any method is existed or not in same module. I think `getattr()` does this but I couldn't do. Here is sample code saying what really I want to do with.

```
#python module is my_module.py
def my_func():
    # I want to check the existence of exists_method
    if getattr(my_module, exists_method):
       print "yes method "
       return
    print "No method"
def exists_method():
    pass

```

My main task is to dynamically call defined method. If it is not defined, just skip operations with that method and continue. I have a dictionary of data from which on the basis of keys I define some necessary methods to operate on corresponding values. for e.g. data is `{"name":"my_name","address":"my_address","...":"..."}`. Now I define a method called `name()` which I wanted to know dynamically it really exists or not.
