Just put the class object in the list! >>> class A: ... pass ... >>> class B: ... pass ... >>> class C: ... pass ... >>> classes = [A, B, C] >>> for cls in classes: ... x = cls() ... print x.__class__ ... __main__.A __main__.B __main__.C You can do some black magic to go from the string 'A' to the class A (eg, use eval()), but it's generally better to avoid that if you can. -- John. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
