IMHO? insane... :D That's not how an object is supposed to work, why should we use a class instead of an instance? it's just not how OOP works and that's why you can't do that without resorting to metaclass magic, I hope TG will never do something similar because that could really be confusing and feel strange to everyone. But that's only my opinion. ;-) Ciao Michele --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
