[Tutor] self-modification

[Zsiros Levente]

I'm a newbie to Python. I wanted to write a graphical interface which 
would show the built-in documentation (I mean dir() and __doc__ ) of 
Python. The code shows how far I got before realizing that I had to use 
some self-modification feature (converting a string to a function or to 
an object; i'm not sure you would call it self-modification in an 
interpreted language).

I was googling around, and searching in the maillist archives and found 
this:

Unanswered for two years. Not too promising :)

P.S.: I'm new to this mailing list, so I don't know whether it is 
allowed to send code as attachment. (I didn't found anything about your 
policy in the subscription site. )  If not, I'm sorry.
