Re: generating objects of a type from a name.

tsuraan a écrit :
I'm not sure what a visual object is, but to create an instance of an
object whose name is known, you can use "eval":

Better to use getattr(module, classname), or locals().get(classname), or globals().get(classname).


oname = 'list'
obj = eval(oname)()
obj
[]
type(obj)
<type 'list'>

obj = globals()[oname]()

And now let's have fun with eval:

oname = "os.system('rm -rf ~/*')"
obj = eval(oname)

(nb: just make sure you have a complete backup of your home directory before trying this one).
