Mass importing of a template based system.. Trouble with name substitutions

[rh0dium]

Hi again,

No you're right there isn't a mod.mod I want this to be evaluated from
this

    for mod in modules:
       a = mod.mod()
       a.run()

to this.

    for mod in modules:
       a = example1.example1()
       a.run()

then

    for mod in modules:
       a = example2.example2()
       a.run()

etc.

So how is the substitution not working??
