Calling a function from string inside the same module in Python?

Lets say I have a function bar inside a module called foo.py . Somewhere inside foo.py, I want to be able to call bar() from the string "bar". How do I do that?

# filename: foo.py
import sys

def bar():
  print 'Hello, called bar()!'

if __name__ == '__main__':
  funcname = 'bar'
  # Here I should be able to call bar() from funcname

I know that there exists some built-in function in python called 'getattr'. However, it requires 'module object' to be the first parameter. How to obtain the 'module object' of the current module?
