AttributeError when trying to use Colorama (not a good title, I know)

Question

I don't even know what to title this, as I don't know the terms. Basically, I have what I assume to be a beginner question, which I can't find an answer for. So, here's my code:

from colorama import Fore, Back, Style, init
init()
def colorprint(str1, str2):
    print(Fore.str2 + str1 + Fore.WHITE)
colorprint("words", "GREEN")

But, as expected, I can't use "str2" in "Fore.", as it's not one of the "options" (I guess) for it...

I get this error: AttributeError: 'AnsiFore' object has no attribute 'str2'

Sorry for not knowing how to label stuff... I don't know whether to call things functions, variables, objects, etc.

I'm using Python 3.

The Fore object doesn't have the str2 attribute, but you can use the getattr function to get Fore.{GREEN}:

from colorama import Fore, Back, Style, init
init()
def colorprint(str1, str2):
    print(getattr(Fore, str2) + str1 + Fore.WHITE)
colorprint("words", "GREEN")
