You are quite right, Python doesn't know that you don't really want to to just assign an integer. It is only in an expression that python can guess what you mean. So the only way to do it would be explicitly myDie = Die(myDie.n, 5) Alan G. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
