what is the difference between commenting and uncommenting the __init__ method in this class?

No difference as this code doesn't do anything else in the __init__() it overrides. Normally you would add some additional processing there but if you don't need to, there is no reason to override __init__(), therefore it's clearer and better to delete those 2 lines. -m -- Lark's Tongue Guide to Python: http://lightbird.net/larks/ It is always pleasant to be urged to do something on the ground that one can do it well.
