[storm] Dynamically change __storm_table__ is it possible?

[Steve Kieu]

Hi,

Thanks for replying, I have thought about subclassing but how to do it
dynamically. The only one way I can think of is dynamically generate
python string contains the class definitions and then eval it to
return the class object.

Where is my python doc for eval-ing string :-)

Any other way better than this?

Cheers,
