First of all, python is strictly typed in that every object has exactly one type, which is different from other types. So you can't do "1"+2, as you can in some other languages. Anyway, this is interesting: Tell me more about how Python's dynamic nature makes it impossible to do whatever you're trying to do. I'm baffled.

Now if that isn't a Gedankensprung. Also, I'm still very far from your train of thought, apparently: Now, the thing that code generators probably share is that they write code to files. It depends on what I'm trying to do of course, but I expect there's a good chance that if I wrote a code generator in Python, it wouldn't be particularly object-oriented at all. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
