As already pointed out in my second post (though perhaps not explicitly enough), I like the getattr-stuff better than eval(). That is why I will not use eval(). I don't have a reason to use eval(). All I wanted to say is this: If there are no circumstances at all under which eval() can reasonably be used, then it should not be part of Python. As it is part of Python (and as Python is a carefully designed language), there will most probably some situations in which one might want to use it. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
