Thanks for the pointer. In general, I'm firmly in the YAGNI camp. [1] http://fishbowl.pastiche.org/2004/03/02/defending_yagni [2] http://xp.c2.com/YouArentGonnaNeedIt.html I avoid extending anything I don't a) understand and b) absolutely have to. My main motivation on this is laziness (hopefully it's the good kind). If I extend controllers.Controller and don't want to be surprised by unexpected bugs then I have to write extra tests. Since I don't really know what controllers.Controller does, I can't test it without doing a fair amount of research first. I'm digressing. My real question is "does it really matter?". The ability to publish plain old python objects is what makes cherrypy so appealing IMO. Does extending controllers.Controller in class Second affect CherryPy and/or Turbogears in any way? - Levi
