Just import the classes you need, and dispatch on them. import spammodule, hammodule dispatch_table = { "Spam": spammodule.Spamclass, "Ham": hammodule.Hamclass} # later obj = dispatch_table[ user_input ]() >> Assuming the classes are all in the same module "mod", which is >> separate from the main program: >> >> instance = getattr(mod, class_name)(args, to, init) >> > Can you explain the difference between getattr and var()? They are completely different things. At an interactive prompt, type: help(getattr) help(var) and read what they say. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
