Sorry I quoted this earlier and meant to respond to it. What I meant was, might as well use a class method over a static method AND in doing so, cls is free. I sort of repeated the same thing over and over. I think my main concern was trying to make sure I could grasp at least that much. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
