This is pretty easy in Python using the __name__ attribute. import sys class A: def in(self): print("A in") def out(self): print("A out") class B: def in(self): print("B in") def out(self): print("B out") classes = {cls.__name__: cls for cls in (A, B)} ArgType = classes[sys.agrv[1]] arg = ArgType() arg.in("test") arg.out("test") -- Neil Cerutti -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
