Just looking at this -
class SuperDict(dict):
count = 0
def __init__(self, *args, **kw):
self.__class__.count = self.__class__.count+1
if kw.has_key('default'):
self.default=kw.pop('default')
super(C,self).__init__( *args, **kw)
...so, is count like a static attribute in Java (not that I really understand those anyway)?
I don't really understand how you access class attributes. Would it just be = SuperDict.count = 10?

Ah! Ok, I didn't realise that. From my quick read of the super
documentation
I missed that bit and just thought - syntactic sugar...
I see that I'll need to do some more experimenting with super...
Thanks for the clarification Kent,
