Same way you'd do it in Python: call it. Use PyObject_Call or any of it's convenient variants. Example (leaving off all the error-checking stuff): mod = PyImport_ImportModule(modname); cls = PyObject_GetAttrStr(mod,classname); inst = PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs(cls,NULL); Carl Banks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
