mm, coffee, much better.

I meant:

if not type(TheClass)==type:
    continue

(to detect new-style classes) but you're probably better off giving
all your 30 classes a common base class, i.e. MessageControl, and
checking like this:

if not type(TheClass)==type:
    continue
if not issubclass(TheClass, MessageControl):
    continue
c = TheClass()
# more stuff
