AS ever converting strings to objects is a job for a doictionary. And 
remember that classe3s are objects too.

So simply register each class you define in a dictionary of classes against 
their name

classes = {'Room':Room, 'Player': Player, 'Sword':Sword,...}

class Player:
       def wield(self,what):
         print type(what)
         print 'you wield',what
         self.wielded = classes[what]()   # an instance of what...
