</span>I don't follow. Looking at the output above, you get a reference to<br>

</span>You probably don't want to deal with Qt metaclasses, and you don't<br>
want to call __getattr__ by hand. If anything, you'd use<br>
getattr(self, name).<br>
<br>
But either way, that sounds like an overcomplicated way. I suggest<br>
either keeping a dict of all objects:<br>

But let's take another step back and look at the big picture. Why do<br>
you want a list of all dials? What are you going to do with them?<br>

Maybe what you really should do is using Qt's signal/slot system, add<br>
some signal, and connect all dial's slots to it, and then forget about<br>
your dials<span class=""><br>
