I'm sorry I somehow got my hyperlinks mixed up and though you were refering to http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/361668 which was mentioned by someone else on this thread. If I had seen yours I wouldn't have posted this. So my comment on you link was completely erroneous as, as you are pointing out, the functionality of my code snippet and your link are very similar. Mine was only a proof of concept bit of code, so yours is more polished. Although I don't see the necessity of a metaclass: you could have class Record(object): def __init__(self, *vals): for slot, val in zip(self.__slots__, vals): setattr(self, slot, val) # And the other methods if you want positional slots initialisation. I chose keyword arguments in mine because I though it would be a good idea to be able not to initialise some of them at object instanciation. -- Arnaud -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
