Any method call in python is done thru reflection. Calling a method in python means looking in the attribute hashmap of the object for a function object of that name. You can modify the values of the hashmap and even add or delete methods at runtime. Python interfaces, are defined thru documentation only, not a static type system. That's very handy for a language, which's greatest strength is rapid prototying. Of course you loose compile time type checking, but that's true for Avalon components too. -- Martin Holz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> phone: 0049-30-39977 218 FIZ CHEMIE BERLIN --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
