[Answered ]-Declaring class name in variable

✅

To create a class dynamically you can use the three argument form of type. To also dynamically create a variable or module member with the same name you can use globals() to create variables dynamically

globals()['className'] = type('className', (object,), {'foo': 'bar'})

To create a model dynamically may be slightly more complex but you can use an abstract base class to define all the fields/methods on for convenience

class Base(models.Model):
    foo = models.CharField(max_length=100)

    class Meta:
        abstract = True

globals()['className'] = type('className', (Base, ), {'__module__': Base.__module__})
