I suppose that is more specific than the __import__ builtin. Classes have __build_class__. Functions don't have an equivalent in the global builtins. For imports you have to go through __import__. So a __module_class__ would dictate which class for import to use. By default it would be types.ModuleType. Makes sense. -eric p.s. a __build_function__ would be meaningful addition particularly if the def-from syntax were feasible. I'm just saying... :) On Wed, Mar 30, 2011 at 3:13 PM, Greg Ewing <greg.ewing@canterbury.ac.nz>wrote:

I was just thinking along those same lines. Sounds like twisted already does it. Does it amount to using a custom __import__?
I don't know what Twisted does, but I was thinking of an attribute called __moduleclass__ that works a bit like the old __metaclass__ attribute.
Then you could do
class __moduleclass__:
