RE: "Attribute Doesnt Exist" ... but.... it does :-s
Hi Guys, Well thanks for the response, I followed your advice and chopped out all the crap from my class, right down to the bare __init__ and the setter method, however, the problem continued to persist. However, Robert mentioned something about unindented lines which got me thinking so I deleted my tab indents on that method and replaces them with standard space-bar indents and it appears to have cured the problem. Usually my Eclipse IDE throws up an error about this but for some reason decided not too this time around, what a PITA. Thanks for the ideas guys, I appreciate it.

Maybe the irrelevant code causes the error: my guess is that there's a parenthesis mismatch or an undeindented line. Btw, calls to set_pending_list will fail since the name "message_list" is not defined in its scope. Please follow Chris Mellon's advice.
