I have no idea what you're proving here. You just showed that the class has a function attached to it, and you didn't provide enough arguments to it. And types have their own set of attributes and methods: >>> dir(type) ['__abstractmethods__', '__base__', '__bases__', '__basicsize__', '__call__', '__class__', '__delattr__', '__dict__', '__dictoffset__', '__dir__', '__doc__', '__eq__', '__flags__', '__format__', '__ge__', '__getattribute__', '__gt__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__instancecheck__', '__itemsize__', '__le__', '__lt__', '__module__', '__mro__', '__name__', '__ne__', '__new__', '__prepare__', '__qualname__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__setattr__', '__sizeof__', '__str__', '__subclasscheck__', '__subclasses__', '__subclasshook__', '__text_signature__', '__weakrefoffset__', 'mro'] Most of those are inherited from object, but some aren't. What are you demonstrating? ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
