Everyone starts out as a Padawan and I am no exception :-) Maybe five years from now I'll also have made my way to be a Python Jedi and also shake the ins and outs of descriptors out of my sleeve :-) But I can only repeat myself: Python is such an exceptional language, the more and more I know about it, the more I fall in love! Fantastic. I wish we had these types of language when I was a kid! Best regards and thanks again, Henrik -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
