You may be interested to know this is called the Template Pattern. http://home.earthlink.net/~huston2/dp/templateMethod.html Generally, while most of the patterns are obvious in hindsight they are not necessarily obvious in advance, and I consider independently re-discovering a pattern is a good sign; it's much easier to correct not knowing about them than gaining the skills to independently re-derive them. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
