I wish it was that simple but 'a = Foo().getid()' is actually creating a new instance of Foo whereas I want the data of the Foo instanced by __init__ of FooSon(). what I am actually trying to do is to build a set of classes which handle different type of binary messages coming from the network. a base message which handles its basic data parts (src, dst, etc.) and extending it per message type. thus I looked for a way to get the child calling super for parsing the super's prats and then having the child parsing its additional details. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
