Running commands based on OptionMenu's selection

Question

How can I tweak this so that if xyz17 is selected from the Menu the function xyz17() is run?

I'm aware of command = xyz17 but I'm not sure how to make that dynamic so that it depends on the menu selection.

from tkinter import *

def xyz17():
    print('xyz17')
def abc27():
    print('abc27')
def qwe90():
    print('qwe90')
def uio19():
    print('uio19')
def jkl09():
    print('jkl09')
def zxc28():
    print('zxc28')

class Menu(OptionMenu):
    def __init__(self, master, status, *options):
        self.var = StringVar(master)
        self.var.set(status)
        OptionMenu.__init__(self, master, self.var, *options)

def main():        
    TopFrame = Frame(root)
    TopFrame.pack()

    Menu1 = Menu(TopFrame, 'xyz', 'xyz17','abc27','qwe90')
    Menu2 = Menu(TopFrame, 'uio', 'uio19','jkl09','zxc28')

    Menu1.pack()
    Menu2.pack()

root = Tk()
main()
root.mainloop()

Please note that the functions each priniting the value is just for an example, I would like the code to run the function itself. I'm aware of this:

class Menu(OptionMenu):
    def __init__(self, master, status, *options):
        self.var = StringVar(master)
        self.var.set(status)
        OptionMenu.__init__(self, master, self.var, *options, command=self.func)
    def func(self,value):
        print (value)

But, this isn't relevant to my scenario as it simply just gets the value and prints it, and I would like it to actually run the function itself.

If you want to run specific methods for options, simply check the sent string and select the method based on the string using if / elif statements:

from tkinter import *


def xyz17():
    print('xyz17')
def abc27():
    print('abc27')
def qwe90():
    print('qwe90')
def uio19():
    print('uio19')
def jkl09():
    print('jkl09')
def zxc28():
    print('zxc28')

class Menu(OptionMenu):
    def __init__(self, master, status, *options):
        self.var = StringVar(master)
        self.var.set(status)
        OptionMenu.__init__(self, master, self.var, *options, command=self.option_handle)


    def option_handle(self, selected):
        # above specific case is simply print(selected) but
        if selected == "xyz17":
            xyz17()
        elif selected == "abc27":
            abc27()
        elif selected == "qwe90":
            qwe90()
        elif selected == "uio19":
            uio19()
        elif selected == "jkl09":
            jkl09()
        elif selected == "zxc28":
            zxc28()
        # if you specifically want to call methods that has exactly
        # the same name as options
        # eval(selected + "()")


def main():        
    TopFrame = Frame(root)
    TopFrame.pack()

    Menu1 = Menu(TopFrame, 'xyz', 'xyz17','abc27','qwe90')
    Menu2 = Menu(TopFrame, 'uio', 'uio19','jkl09','zxc28')

    Menu1.pack()
    Menu2.pack()

root = Tk()
main()
root.mainloop()
