I'm about 2/3 of the way through this paper (although I don't claim to understand all of it.) There is some heavy duty material in there, enough to make me feel really stupid and frustrated at times. I'm making connections as I go though, hopefully everything will sink in eventually. The discussion on super(), especially the python code implementation, clarified some of the doubts I had about how it is implemented (including "unbound" super objects, which involve the descriptor mechanism on the super object itself.) Is this stuff actually tough, or am I just a dummy? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
