Or, to put it another way: "Here's some code that works! Now, I've written some *other* code, which has a bug in it. Who'd like to guess what the bug is?" Why don't you show us your complex class? Also, why are you re-inventing the wheel? Is it just to learn the language? Or because you want to add extra functionality? Or just NIH Syndrome? If it is a learning exercise, they I applaud you; if it is to add extra functionality, there is a better way. -- Steven. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
