how to dynamically create an instance of a class in python?

Question

I have list of class names and want to create their instances dynamically. for example:

names=[
'foo.baa.a',
'foo.daa.c',
'foo.AA',
 ....
]

def save(cName, argument):
 aa = create_instance(cName) # how to do it?
 aa.save(argument)

save(random_from(names), arg)

How to dynamically create that instances in Python? thanks!

Assuming you have already imported the relevant classes using something like

from [app].models import *

all you will need to do is

klass = globals()["class_name"]
instance = klass()
