Python programs can generate code for themselves.
>>> for i in range( 10 ):
... d= { 'cls': i }
... s="""
... class Cls%(cls)s:
... def meth%(cls)s( self, arg ):
... print 'in meth%(cls)s, arg:', arg
... """% d
... exec( s )
... s= """
... inst%(cls)s= Cls%(cls)s()
... """% d
... exec( s )
...
>>> inst0.meth0( "arg" )
in meth0, arg: arg
>>> inst1.meth1( "arg" )
in meth1, arg: arg
>>> inst2.meth2( "arg" )
in meth2, arg: arg
The 'Cls0', 'Cls1', 'Cls2' repetitiveness is taken care of with a for-
loop.
