If I understand correctly, that's not the type of dynamic loading you need. That statement can be the much simpler:
>>> from mysite.departments.form import getDepartment Rather, if you need models (tables) mapped to users at runtime, you need to load the /those/ dynamically (normally you would define the model in your code, which includes--either implicitly or explicitly--the table name). At the risk of sounding like a broken record: simpler is better, and multiple, dynamically loaded models with the same schema is /not/ simple ;) _Nik On 9/21/2012 1:43 PM, Rohit Banga wrote: > Sure Nikolas I will reconsider your solution. > In case I go for model inheritance then can I use the following > solution to load the class dynamically? > |mod = __import__('mysite.departments', fromlist=[form.getDepartment()]) > > > klass = getattr(mod, 'form.getDepartment()|') > > Thanks > Rohit Banga > http://iamrohitbanga.com/ > > > On Fri, Sep 21, 2012 at 4:33 PM, Nikolas Stevenson-Molnar > <nik.mol...@consbio.org <mailto:nik.mol...@consbio.org>> wrote: > > I would still argue that the best solution is to use a robust > permissions model which would preclude this.
