I myself use code like this to load user defined classes. exec(eval("'from %s import %s' % (script, script)")) exec(eval("'self.user_class = %s()' % script")) self.user_class.run() But this can probably be done with the imp module too. >>>rafi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 08/25/05 6:03 pm >>> Adriaan Renting wrote: >You might be able to do something along the lines of > >for count in range(0,maxcount): > value = values[count] > exec(eval("'a%s=%s' % (count, value)")) why using the eval? exec ('a%s=%s' % (count, value)) should be fine -- rafi "Imagination is more important than knowledge."
