You're right. I had forgotten about a few of the operations mentioned, so it might take a bit more than a couple dozen line, but not _that_ much more. The hard part would be defining those operations, and as the OP says, it doesn't seem to me like there is an obvious definition for many of them. If there's no obvious common definition for what a class is supposed to do, then there can't really be a standard one... -- Grant -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
