ahh, this changes the inheritence for *all* instances of of the class, not just this instance! it seems like the '__class__' attribute is shared across all instances of a specific class..

I *think* (from vague memories) that what would need to be done for inheritance would be something like: b.__bases__ == [ A ] (though you might need to do that on the class B instead of the instance b ... ) Jeff Shannon Technician/Programmer Credit International _______________________________________________ ActivePython mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/activepython _______________________________________________ ActivePython mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/activepython _______________________________________________ ActivePython mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/activepython
