Well, that's where the owning object is added, but that would be required whether "self" were implicit or explicit. C++ would have the same kind of code to push "this", for example, even though "this" is not shown in the parameter list. I agree with the other repliers. "Explicit" self is not "implemented" anywhere. It's just an implementation decision. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
