I don't think so. Notice that in the first example you're picking up the __gt__ method of the *type* object, not the int object; i.e., the method that's executed when you do: >>> int > float True You get similar results with __call__: >>> int.__call__ <method-wrapper '__call__' of type object at 0x135060> >>> int.__call__(3) 3 >>> (5).__call__ Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute '__call__' Mark -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
