from http://docs.python.org/lib/built-in-funcs.html some functions are always available--the built-in functions.
(from elsewhere) everything in python is an object. -------------------- hey, from abs() to zip() there's type() and super() and str() and setattr() and ... dir() and... they're the built-ins my question: what.abs() what.zip() etc.? I think there must be a base object, a la java or Nextstep, that supports these functions. what is it? maybe it's not practical, but it's driving me nuts anyway. thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
