I had no idea that this existed. __class__ was probably added to make super() calls without an explicit class argument possible in Python 3. It is made available as a closure: >>> class A: ... def f(self): __class__ ... def g(self): pass ... >>> A.f.__closure__[0].cell_contents <class '__main__.A'> >>> A.g.__closure__ is None True Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
