How do I iterate through methods/functions in a list in web2py -

my code goes like:

m = ['first_time', 'first_day'] t = times() def this():     code.....     item in m:         getattr(t, item)() 

i tried option of:

try:     return  t.first_time()     return t.first_day() except attributeerror, e: return e.message 

these codes work first method first_time(). how can make iterate through functions in m in web2py?
