If I insert an __init__ method in my own class definition, it is incumbent upon me to call the __init__ of any declared ancester to my new class object because my __init__ will override that of any ancester I declare in the header. If I fail to call the ancesters __init__, then it won't happen. The ancester object won't be initialized.
But If I *don't* insert my own __init__ in my new class, then any declared ancester __init__ will automatically run because I haven't overridden the ancesters __init__ method with my own. Did I get that straight? Thomas Bartkus -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
