Not true. You can certainly use any method of a class in any *functions* or methods defined in the body of the class. But you can't use them in the body of the class before they're defined, any more than you can subclass a class that doesn't exist yet. I'm not sure where you got the "Python is not a one pass compiler" idea; I don't recall having seen this meme anywhere before, and I don't see how it's meaningful anyway. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
