Creating "virtual" module-namespace

Robin,

thank you very much for taking time to clarify!

Coming from C++, Java, VB, PHP ... I was not able to imagine that much 
orthogonal design. 

Python is overwhelming in his clear concepts.

So I know: I need an object only to form a namespace which I can access 
via "."

I think it would be possible to use something else instead of an 
object...

Do something like

zoo=[] # empty list
exec a in zoo.__dict__  # execute a in the namespace of "zoo" 


Thank you very much

Harald
