Are wrap and get_directives somehow built-in? I couldn't find references to them.
I've noticed, too, that using __new__ I can manipulate the dictionary resulting in the behavior I intented. I'd rather like to know: Why does it work in __new__ but not in __init__? And, stimulated by your response: Why is using __new__ superior to __init__? best regards Steffen -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
