Just keep in mind that properties themselves might change, and then you'll have to update your application again. The same for slots and the super() call. The developers themselves aren't fully satisfied with the current APIs, and the features haven't been widely used enough to be sure all the potential bugs are ironed out. So if you program with them at this point, you're essentially beta testing them. Generators are prob'ly more stable, and iterators definitely are since they're heavily used now in the Python core. -- -Mike (Iron) Orr, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (if mail problems: [EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://iron.cx/ English * Esperanto * Russkiy * Deutsch * Espan~ol _______________________________________________ Webware-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-devel
