Getting KeyError while iterating object names using locals()

Question

I have 5 objects, mac5_le(), mac4_le and so on. I am trying to extract some value from each of the objects as follows,

for i in range(5,-1,-1):
     m = locals()['self.mac'+str(i)+'_le.text()']
     print m

I am getting the error as KeyError: 'self.mac5_le.text()'.

Any Idea?

m = getattr(self, 'mac%d_le' % i).text()
