It wouldn't call a method of a. I'm not an expert in these matters, but I would think it would call a method in a's namespace. For example, if 'a' lives in module 'foo', I would think that a = something # from within module foo and foo.a = something # outside of module foo are equivalent. But chances are my conceptions are wrong. -- The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom. -- Isaac Asimov Roel Schroeven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
