Thats right. In fact, your code is the precise analogy of my Prolog example in Python. Obviously, eval() and call() are both inherently dangerous. They should never be used in programs that are used in programs that get input from people other than the author. Yet, my program is supposed to parse files that I have created myself and that are on my laptop. It is not supposed to interact with anybody else than me. On the other hand, I think, it is worthwhile getting acquainted with the getattr-stuff, because this method can be useful in many contexts. Anyway, thanks to all who participated in this thread. It taught me a lot. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
