Stefan, thanks first of all
Use a global variable in the module.
I have an account_number_generator variable in the module, I got that hint from searching the web. But where my stubborn java mind doesn't release me: what does the variable contain? Do I create the actual IncrementalGenerator object there? Or the super class? Or just a string, which a factory method takes to create the actual object? What I especially don't get: How will an external module overwrite that variable? I fail to see, python being interpreted, how I can ensure that a future module is being executed later, thus overwriting the variable. Thanks again. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
