In Metakit, a property is a name (case insensitive) and type pair. In the context of a view, it's the column number. The Python binding uses attribute style access (though dictionary style access would have the same difficulty). Which means name only, with some hoops to jump through so the case insensitivity of the underlying code doesn't bite you. Depending on what you're doing, the code may make round trips through code that isn't exactly reversible. IOW, once you've broken the rules, odd things may happen. -- Gordon http://www.mcmillan-inc.com/ _______________________________________________ metakit mailing list - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.equi4.com/mailman/listinfo/metakit
