Something like the getattr() trick.

In addition to what other people has suggested:

- Use some kind of registry:
register("Vuln", Vuln, VulnInfo, VulnDiscuss)
(a dictionary would do) and then look up by name

- If all three classes are contained inside the same module, look up them  
by name into globals: InfoClass = globals()["%sInfo" %  
self.__class__.__name__]
(assuming self is an instance of Vuln, this would give you the VulnInfo  
class)

- Replace your line: vuln_class = ['Info', 'Discuss']
with vuln_class = [VulnInfo, VulnDiscuss]

As you see, there are many ways to do that - choose what better fits your  
needs.
