That solved the problem, thanks! I assume that the getWindow and setWindow can be bypassed by using the _window property directly and that Python has no visibility keywords like private or protected. Sort of like PHP 4. (Not that I want to compare Python to anything like that mess, lol ;)) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
