Yeah, I'm starting to see that as I tried to implement it. Here's what I came up with, which works: def generate(self, filename): self.head = self.generate_head() self.body = self.generate_body() So the two generate_* methods are called from within another class method, and it seemed necessary to still call them from an instance. What I originally meant was that they would not be called from an instance *outside* the class itself, i.e. they won't be used when writing another script, they are only used by the class itself. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
