How 'bout you foo<l>s just admit that you didn't realize you've been confused this whole time? (It *is* possible isn't it?) Mr. Ewing says "base" has to be interpreted as an *adjective* because otherwise it would mean the BOTTOM (like the BASE of the pyramid), while Terry responds that it is the TOP (*super*class). Earlier, Steven D'Aprano wanted to argue that this distinction was irrelevant, but obviously it can't very well be both at once now cannit? Could-the-world-be-so-crazy-confused-and-then-shoot-the-messenger? Sadly, yes. MarkJ Tacoma, Washington -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
