"errors" is not much of an error-description. That's what stacktraces are for. Apart from that, you won't succeed with the above. Python has no signature-based polymorphism. Instead, you use default arguments, like this: def __init__(nomin=0, denom=1): ... That should suffice. Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
