Puzzle: If mod.mod did what you expect, what would a.run have to do to maintain consistency? There would be no way to determine the name of the module bound to the mod variable, but fortunately the Python developers foresaw your problem and stashed it (the name) in the __name__ attribute. Use getattr(obj, attrname) to look up an attribute whose name is not known at compile time: for mod in modules: a = getattr(mod, mod.__name__)() a.run() Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
