[Chicago] create all classes

[Kumar McMillan]

you want

import blocks, types
for name in dir(blocks):
    TheClass = getattr(blocks, name)
    if not type(TheClass)==types.ClassType:
        continue
    c = TheClass()

you might also need weed out any classes that are not the ones you are
trying to instantiate
