Ah! That makes sense. I guess the only way to do it would be to add an extra bit to every object to indicate whether it was constructed literally and then re-initialize the object after compilation if that bit is set. For some reason I just don't think that's gonna happen. ;) Thanks for taking the time to explain. Regards, Jordan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
