getattr(x, 'y') <==> x.y vars() gives a dict representing the current accessible variable bindings (I should have instead recommended the related globals() function) globals() gives a dict representing the global variable bindings For example: #foo.py class Foo(object): #code here Foo() #same as globals()['Foo']() #end of file Cheers, Chris -- Follow the path of the Iguana... http://rebertia.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
