You might find a dictionary useful. Each element in a dictionary is associated
with a "key", which can be a string.
objectlist = {}
o = eval("class1" + "()")
objectlist["object1"] = o
o.method("hello world")
Also, try to avoid using eval(), it usually makes troubleshooting and
maintenance harder and can lead to security problems in some cases. You could
have a dictionary of classes and look them up on the fly:
classlist = { "classone" : classone, "classtwo" : classtwo }
objectlist = {}
cls = classlist[user_input]
o = cls()
objectlist["object1"] = o
o.method("hello world")
Cheers
