Does python provide a way to dynamically use modules and/or classes?
I'm thinking in the vein of Java's Class.forName.

As a pseudocode example, I'm looking for the following ability:


classIWantToInstantiate = "packagenamehere.classNameHere"

anInstanceOfThatClass = makeNewClassFromString(classIWantToInstantiate, 
parameters[])

# now anInstanceOfThatClass refers to an instantied
# packagenamehere.classNameHere object!



thanks
alex
