runtime code loading

[David Fisher]

Hi Jp,
Your post is a little hard to answer.  It would help to know what the
program is supposed to do, what the line of code is supposed to do, what
platform and version you are running on.  Including a small piece of working
code that exibits the problem, instead of code fragments would help also.
That said, it looks like you want to create an instance of the class Player
and store it in self.connections[addr]. It would also help to know why you
are doing it with open, read, compile, etc.  Unless you have a good reason
not to, I would sugest you use the standard import function to load code
from a file.
Post with some more info, and we'll try again.
