Consider: And this sounds very much like a Perl 5 method. In light of that, the first part sounds like a Perl 6 curried sub. I suspect that Python will just need slightly fancy vtables for method and attribute lookup--nothing Parrot can't handle. It might not even need a separate vtable for the two of them, although it should implement both for interop. -- Brent 'Dax' Royal-Gordon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Perl and Parrot hacker There is no cabal.
