[Tutor] Trying to avoid using eval..

[Rohit Mediratta]

Hi All,
   I want to reload my Module after I fix bugs and want to instantiate an object of a class contained in this module.

Heres the pseudo code of what I want to do:

def rerun(testBlock) :
    op = testBlock.split('.')
    module = op[0] ; className = op[1]
    reload(module)
    # testBlock is a string, so it needs evaluation!
    newObject = testBlock()

rerun('ModuleName.className')


Obviously, line 4 and line 6 dont work today. 
I want to know if there is any smart way to achieve this.
In my previous life (Tcl), I could use 'eval' or 'set' to achieve this.


thanks,
Rohit
