# this is a longwinded way to say Test.method = m setattr is for when you do *not* know the attribute name at coding time but will have it in a string at run time, as in methodname = 'method' ......# some time later setattr(Test, methodname, m) Sometime Python makes things easier than people are initially willing to believe ;-) > |Test() Terry J.
