modeler
======

Some posts on class-like attribute access for modules 
encourged me to get some code from my not-yet-released viz module 
and make it available as a standalone Python C extension module.

Modeler enables dynamic attribute creation/access by simply adding
a __gettattr__ function to a module. Modeler doesn't replace modules
with class instances,actually it doesn't make any changes to modules.

Some more details and modeler.pyd for Python2.2
can be found at:
http://www.wiktorsadowski.com/Python

Examples of simple module-class-factory and importing two or more modules
from one dll :

As for the source code:
I will try to make it available later this month.

Have fun,
Wiktor Sadowski


add to site.py:
import modeler

dynmodule.py
==========
def __getattr__(thismod,name):
        if name in thismod.__dict__.keys():
                return thismod.__dict__[name]
        else:
           # in more useful cases:
           #thismod.__dict__[name]=anAttr
           #return anAttr 
           return "Default Attr"
