Thanks for the responses! And sorry for the late reply, I had to force myself away from the computer for a day.
M.E.Farmer, Yes I've been having a little bit of trouble with name spaces, but this self thing is actually starting to make sense the more I think about it -- I hadn't thought too much about multiple instances of the same class for this particular program. The notion of storing data that way makes better sense with that example. Coming from a background in the more 'procedural' languages it was harder to grasp but I think I'm beginning to naturally absorb the concept by working my head around these examples And thanks for the links :) I know this is going to be full of bugs, but it would be nice to avoid the more serious ones. Steven Bethard, First, thanks for fixing up my class. I really appreciate it. >Where should score_domain, score_servername and score_port be coming from? >Are they the same as the 'domain', 'servername' and 'httpport' parameters to __init__? whoops..heh.. my mistake. My original-confused- idea was to use different variable names because I didn't want the function to interfere with the classes variables directly as I'd be passing the objects variables to itself..if that makes any sense. Your way makes me wonder how the heck I came to my logifc in the first place >As an aside, there's probably no need to prefix your variables with >double-underscores -- this causes name mangling that's generally not >necessary in a "we're all consenting adults" language like Python. Ahh..from an example on the net, I though it was a necessary thing for the interpreter..heh. Well not having to certainly simplifies things -thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
