The simpelest way, without having to figure out which part of the
    "stringWithFullNameOfTheClass"
is the module and which part is the class is to pass them both to a
function, i.e.

    def classFromModule (module, className):
        mod = __import__ (module)
        return getattr (mod, className)

You can use this as follows:

    c = classFromModule (ModuleOfTheClass, NameOfTheClass)
    o = c ()

or, even:

    o = classFromModule (ModuleOfTheClass, NameOfTheClass)()
