I cannot find a satisfying answer to this question on the web so let's try here.My problem is the following, I would like to instantiate some object from a configuration file that would contain class names like for example classname=org.common.resource.MyResource. Here my resource is the class to instanciate and it is in the module resource that is in a package hierachy. In fact I would like to do something very similar to the Java: klass = Class.forname("org.common.resource.MyResource") instance = klass.newInstance() The second line is easy once I have a classobj but I have some problems to find the right recipe for getting it. I know how to create a class from scratch with new.classobj but how do you get a class object and then create an object ? I would like a recipe working for all cases (whatever the module is not the local one ...)
use __import__ to get the module object, then getattr(module, classname) to get the class object (sorry, no much time right now to give you a full recipe, but that should be enough to get you started).
