Many thanks for the replies. getattr() works great: >>> name='Moon' >>> m2 = getattr(ephem,name)() >>> m2.compute(home) >>> print ephem.localtime(m2.rise_time) 2009-11-11 01:30:36.000002
shows the moon will rise at 1:30am localtime tonight at my home location. Excellent. -- NickC -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
