I would RTM, but I'm not sure exactly what to look for. Basically, I need to be able to call a variable dynamically. Meaning something like the following:
- I don't want to say OBJECT.VAR but rather OBJECT. ("string") and have it retrieve the variable (not the value of it) if in fact it exists. . . The purpose is to create an XML tree myself by means of OBJECT. ("string").__setattr(name,value). I eventually want to be able to say BOOK[0].AUTHOR.FIRSTNAME . . . that kind of thing. I've seen existing libraries, but I'd really rather know how to do it myself. Any assistance would be appreciated. Regards, Michael -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
