So far, the "attribute" classes in this application are just state-encapsulations, so they might as well subclass 'object'. I subclassed 'str' to get the constructor and __str__ cheaply (in coding time). The rest of the baggage of 'str' is rather unnecessary, I suppose. -- \ "Anything that is too stupid to be spoken is sung." -- Voltaire | `\ | _o__) | Ben Finney -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
