It's not really clear what the OP wants - whether blank should always be False, or have a default value of False. Actually the example shows blank having a default value of True for B's which makes more sense than the text since the default value of blank for A's is False. Anyway, if you want to change the default value do it the way I showed originally (above); if you want blank to always be False (or True) you should remove the parameter from the definition of B.__init__() like this: class B(A): def __init__(self, editable=True, name='foo'): A.__init__(self, True, editable, name) Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
