Yeah, but that's the statement form. I think of the characters in the .py file as the definition. If I'm creating a class dynamically...I'm creating(*) it, not defining it. I don't think it's a big deal, though. Either word will work. --David (*) Actually, come to think of it, I probably refer to it as "constructing" the class, rather than creating or defining it. It's the type equivalent of constructing an instance, perhaps? _______________________________________________ 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
