Thanks for your help:)
You're welcome !-) Ok, I guess all this is not that intuitive, specially when comes from less dynamic languages. Python's object model is quite powerful, but one need to have a good understanding of it to understand *why* it works that way. There's an interesting slideshow about metaclasses and descriptors that may help (if your brain is robust enough !-) : http://www.python.org/pycon/dc2004/papers/24/metaclasses-pycon.pdf HTH -- bruno desthuilliers python -c "print '@'.join(['.'.join([w[::-1] for w in p.split('.')]) for p in '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'.split('@')])" -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
