You seem to be asking "is it possible to call an object whose name is stored in a string". The answer is yes:: >>> class Foo: ... pass ... >>> foo_name = 'foo' >>> foo_class = locals().get(foo_name) >>> bar = foo_class() >>> bar <__main__.Foo instance at 0x401e468c> Or, more succinctly but rather harder to follow:: >>> class Foo: ... pass ... >>> foo_name = 'foo' >>> bar = locals().get(foo_name)() >>> bar <__main__.Foo instance at 0x401e46ec> -- \ "I went to the cinema, it said 'Adults: $5.00, Children $2.50'. | `\ So I said 'Give me two boys and a girl.'" -- Steven Wright | _o__) | Ben Finney -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
