The super() call is only supported for new-style classes, e.g. those that inherit from 'object'. >>> class A(object): ... def speak(self): ... print 'hi' ... >>> class B(A): ... def speak(self): ... super(B, self).speak() ... print 'there' ... >>> obj = B() >>> obj.speak() hi there Note the difference in the first line. -- David Ascher _______________________________________________ ActivePython mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
