Hey Steven, that was a very generous explanation. Thanks! Very clear. I was floundering over the simple name/concept of attibute, and it had undermined my reading of other material. Your examples were extremely helpful. I think I understood everything you said (after a second reading). I keep hearing about how Python creates namespaces which I think are dictionaries, I'm going to have to look into that further to understand how some of this fits together. I think that's where Python is going when you're talking about looking up attributes (and it would include methods too, unless they're still functions... maybe they're methods for instances and functions for classes? Ok, I don't get that part yet). Anyway, thanks again -- Keith
