initialising a class by name

[Krishnakant]

Hi, 
So should I not use getattr()?
If I have one class in one module, then should I use global?
I found getattr() very easy to use, my only dowbt is that if there is
going to be one class per module then will it be a good idea?
some thing like module, class_name 
happy hacking.
