I think you misread my argument. Look at the first example on my post, or follow the discussion on "__bases__ misleading error message" here on the newsgroups. That error message has me start that thread arguing that the error is misleading because the Sub object does have the __bases__ attribute. It's the Sub instance object that does not have it. Some of the answers that were given argued that in Python object = instance. > Yet > **you** claim that "Python" states that objects are instances .... That is no my claim. I said that much. You should probably read my post more carefully. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
