Don't use exec. It's quite dangerous, and in your case is making
things much more complex than necessary. A much simpler way to do
what you want:
def addCountry(self,country_name):
self.countries.append(country(country_name))
There is no need to bind the result of "country(country_name)" to a name at all.
