Yes. When you invoke self.warn_Admin(x), it calls warn_Admin with 2 args, self and x. The reason I did not suggest this is becaus it looked like warn_Admin didn't really use anything inside self, so why make it a method? Looks like you are getting the method/function concepts straight. (I'm not trying to confuse you, but you could also make warn_Admin a staticmethod within the class, using the @staticmethod decorator. Static methods do not pass the self argument, so making warn_Admin into a static method would be another way to resolve this problem. But only do this if your class, whatever it is, has something inherently about it that wants its own warn_Admin method - otherwise, just make it a global function.) -- Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
