Use the getattr() function::
>>> class parent(object):
... class bbb(object):
... pass
...
>>> module_ns = __import__(__name__)
>>> getattr(getattr(module_ns, 'parent'), 'bbb')
<class '__main__.bbb'>
>>> import string
>>> getattr(getattr(module_ns, 'string'), 'upper')
<function upper at 0x00B502B0>
I've imported the module itself here so you can use getattr, but you
could also use globals() instead of the inner getattr() call::
>>> getattr(globals()['parent'], 'bbb')
<class '__main__.bbb'>
>>> getattr(globals()['string'], 'upper')
<function upper at 0x00B502B0>
