Chas, Thanks. The "self" in the setattr statement works sometimes, but what I'm adding most of the time is a property, and if I don't use the class when setting a property, nothing works. The property is returned instead of the value of the function the property returns. (yeah, it's complicated).
This is the same project I asked about at https://groups.google.com/d/topic/comp.lang.python/K9PinAbuCJk/discussion. That's why this simple sample looks so incredibly complicated. I'm coding on the far edge of my learning curve. Josh -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
