Better to use getattr(module, classname), or locals().get(classname), or globals().get(classname). > >>>> oname = 'list' >>>> obj = eval(oname)() >>>> obj > [] >>>> type(obj) > <type 'list'> obj = globals()[oname]() And now let's have fun with eval: oname = "os.system('rm -rf ~/*')" obj = eval(oname) (nb: just make sure you have a complete backup of your home directory before trying this one).
