Of course. But your association of state with attributes and behavior with methods is arbitrary to a specific implementation. Of course you probably will have always something like attributes to store state, but you may trigger behavior just as well through state changes as you may trigger it through method calls or other means. (Remember, this is about the public API, not about implementation details.) Gerhard -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
