[python] How to pass a string and use it to define the name of a class to be instantiated?

Question

I need to define the name of a class using a dictionary and pass it to a method. In this method I need to instantiate the class received in the format of string.

Answer 1

create a string of it like 'xclass.yourmethod(params)' which is exactly what you want to evaluate and pass it to eval() function like eval( 'xclass.yourmethod(params)' )

Answer 2

You can't use a variable to define a class name. That is what you are tying to do right?

Answer 3

the class is already defined, but I need to invoke the class passing a string as a parameter. Something like this

def ClassA(self):
pass

def ClassB(self):
pass

def method(**class_dict):
for a_class in class_dict
# Here I need the code to instantiate or call a method for each class in the dictionary

#main

class_dict = {1:”ClassA”, 2:”ClassB”}

method(class_dict)
