AFAIK, calls like super() and use of the new multiple inheritance method resolution algorithm are only possible with new style classes. Since none of the Webware servlet classes uses 'object' (as opposed to 'Object', the mother of all Webware objects) as a base class, then by default none of the servlet classes supports Python 2.2 stuff to the full extent. For example, when I experimented with this the other day, I got a "TypeError: super() argument 1 must be type, not class" message in the traceback. The inheritance chain used in Webware for servlets is: NamedValueAccess --> Object --> Servlet --> HTTPServlet --> Page. Making Webware use object as the base class so that one can use super() etc. does not appear to be as simple as having NamedValueAccess subclass object. It makes other parts of Webware blow up. ...Edmund. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
