But as it's the simplest solution, and one with no runtime overhead, you really should consider it. Having a line or two following the class definition is not uncommon in Python, and comments can make sure the reader of the code understands it's part of the class initialization. If that really offends you, put the code in a _setup() method of the same class, and run MyClass._setup() immediately after defining the class. _setup() can be a classmethod as well, and you could have it protect itself against running more than once, perhaps by refusing to run if the list/dict already contains entries. -- DaveA _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
