Shouting absolute commands without full understanding of the situation is not going to help anyone. The OP wanted to minimize memory usage, exactly the intended usage of slots. Without knowing more about the OP's situation, I don't think your or I or Chris Mellon can be sure it's not right for the OP's situation. You're obviously smart and highly expert in Python--I just wish you would be more constructive with your advice. Carl Banks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
