It looks like you are asking for getattr. getattr(device, "attr1"). However unless you have specific reasons to use atrributes (what you seem to call variables here), it seems you are better of using a dictionary. So you could then use: device["attr1"]. -- Antoon Pardon -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
