convert string literal to object attribute

[BiraRai]

def getAttributeForProperty(self,rollnumber,attribute):
# attribute have the value _ward
'''
If year is null then use current year.
Returns the value of the attribute for the given roll number
'''
print 'Searching for attribute', attribute
for index, i in enumerate(self._aa):
if (rollnumber == i._roll_number) and ( hasattr(i,attribute) ) :
print index,i.attribute (COMPILER ERROR HERE)
return i.attribute
return
print "\n"
return

i want i.attribute to be treated as i._ward

I get a compile error "instance has no attribute 'attribute' " which i
understand. how do i fix this

HELP

Look at the `getattr()` function.

It's not a compile error but a runtime error.
