If I do that, the attributes (that was a stupid name for me to choose) and children would have to not share any names with each other, with the object's regular attrs, or python keywords. I toyed with the idea of having __div__ create a descriptor, assign it to a temporary attr, and access that. But then I realized that the children should never be directly assigned to anyways. I can live with one set of brackets at the end of the expression. __methods__ are delightfully evil :-) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
