Once you get used to them meta-classes are very useful. In fact I have never built an industrial size OO system yet that did not use meta classes somewhere in the design... And if you program in OO in Smalltalk, CLOS or Objective C its hard to escape them. They really aren't that difficult once you wrap your head around the concept. OTOH I've never actually got round to trying to use them in Python yet... :-) Alan G. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
