I've done far worse by hitting the wrong key! ;-) I see a post above
gets into the class idea.

Subject: Re: [Tutor] Looking at a String as a Struct?
To: Wayne Watson < [EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I think had I faced this sort of a problem I would've
created a Class for 'em.
Class Person:
Is it possible in Python to
look at a string as a "struct". I don't
think a struct exists in python. Actually, is there something analogous
to a record. In the case of strings, suppose I have string that is
composed of sub-strings like, first_name, last-name, date_of birth,
which consists of month, day, and year, and finally SSN,
street_address, state, city, and zip_code. I'd like to access these
fields directly instead of lastname = record[38:55]. What if fields are
not just strings, but some numeric values?
