Where is the class defined? The right answer to this is usually somethign like: load = getattr(some_module, props['plugin.generate'])(props) If the class is defined in the current module, another possibility is: load = globals()[props['plugin.generate']](props) HTH, STeVe -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
