Yikes. I should correct myself before I get someone angry at me. You can do this sort of late-binding stuff in Perl too, and in many other languages.

But Python makes it extraordinarly easy --- perhaps too much so. *grin* _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
