There's (almost) always a better way than using eval. In this case, you
should use getattr().
Here's your simplified example modified to use getattr:
import sys
class dummy(object):
def __init__(self, arg):
self.todo = "print"+arg
def printa(self):
print 'a'
def printb(self):
print 'b'
def doit(self):
func = getattr(self, self.todo)
func()
o = dummy(sys.argv[1])
o.doit()
