Based on your statement above, and the fact that multiple people have now explained *exactly* why your attempt at recursion hasn't worked, it might be a good idea to step back, accept the advice and walk away instead of trying to convince people that the language forbids recursion and doesn't provide decent OO ecapsulation. Otherwise I'd wager you'll soon be appearing in multiple kill-files. n -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
