The only thing I object to is removing __index__ -- the whole point of an integral class is that it is substitutable as an index for sequences in a way that other numeric types are not. Having an __index__ special method is a key indicator for duck-typing purposes not covered by the ABC. -- Aahz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ Need a book?
