how to dynamically create an instance of a class in python?

Question

I have list of class names and want to create their instances dynamically. for example:

names=[
\'foo.baa.a\',
\'foo.daa.c\',
\'foo.AA\',
 ....
]

def save(c         


        

Answer 1

You can use the python builtin eval() statement to instantiate your classes. Like this:

aa = eval(cName)()

Notice!

using eval is dangerous and is a key for lots of security risks based on code injections.
