And you'll still make it harder for newcomers to understand why a lot of things don't work correctly with their classes. How helpful... Aahz, the object model switch happened *years* ago, and it's quite clear that old style classes have been kept so far for compatibility reasons only. It's obvious that one doesn't gain *anything* - except compat with years-old pre-2.2 versions of Python - using old-style classes. So *why* on earth are you still *advocating* the use of old style classes ?????? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
