hmmm, I guess they're not the same, are they ? but you're right, __bases__ and some others are class attributes not available in instances, I wonder where is this documented and I'm not enough familiar with python' source code to find this. Also this create weird things, like a code posted on this list, which was very confusing and looked to something like : In [24]: class A(object) : ....: __class__ = list ....: ....: In [25]: A.__class__ Out[25]: <type 'type'> In [26]: A().__class__ Out[26]: <type 'list'> In [27]: isinstance(A(), list) # ouch ! Out[27]: True In [29]: type(A()) Out[29]: <class '__main__.A'> In [30]: type(A()).mro() Out[30]: [<class '__main__.A'>, <type 'object'>] -- _____________ Maric Michaud _____________ Aristote - www.aristote.info 3 place des tapis 69004 Lyon Tel: +33 426 880 097 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
