Hmmm, just thinking: What about a function: autoname( 'x= MyClass' ) which calls exec as well as determines the name? That could use 'code' and 'ast' modules and 'parse', or just take the first \w characters, assuming assignment, or: autoname( 'x', MyClass() ) which executes assignment and sets an attr or calls a method on the second arg. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
