Classes that you create in Python have a __dict__ attribute holding a dictionary for arbitrary attributes to go in. Most types defined in C don't bother providing a __dict__, since one doesn't normally need to add arbitrary attributes to them, and the overhead would be almost completely wasted. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
