Just a wild guess, but I think he wants to refer to it by a name. The best way to do this is to put the class instance in a dictionary and make the key 'new' instancedict={} instancedict['new']=Point() then you can call methods by: instancedict['new'].somemethod() -Larry Bates -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
