Since the class statement without superclass actually creates an old-style class, I'd expect the "class MyClass():" variant to behave the same. Sacrifying readability and expliciteness just to save half a dozen keystrokes is not pythonic IMHO. -- bruno desthuilliers python -c "print '@'.join(['.'.join([w[::-1] for w in p.split('.')]) for p in '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'.split('@')])" -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
