http://docs.python.org/ref/metaclasses.html http://www.python.org/2.2.3/descrintro.html In short, yes. The preferred method for making metaclasses requires new-style classes. There is an older method which uses what is called the Don Beaudry hook; Zope used to use it extensively before Python 2.2. You should avoid using that older method and stick to new-style classes. -- Robert Kern [EMAIL PROTECTED] "In the fields of hell where the grass grows high Are the graves of dreams allowed to die." -- Richard Harter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
