Hi Thank you soo much for speedy and in detailed help. Your replies really cleared out most of the cloud for me. I have one last issue to resolve which is something I did not articulate properly, I realize now. The last issue is actually automatically naming the instances. The reason I was using the "instance_count" is for enumerating the actual name of an instance.
For example lets say I have class MyMaterials: and my instances might need to look like material_01 material_02 or light_01 light_02 or Mesh_01 Mesh_02 etc I will need to get the base names from the "some list" and create the names accordingly from the list array. Basically I also need to generate the instance names based on the some list. For example some_list[2] might denote a name for the instance. I will study the sampled codes in depth now. Maybe you have answered the naming issue as well, if so please frgove the noise. thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
