Same for me. To answer the original question: To create class methods in C code, you use the METH_CLASS flag in the PyMethodDef structure. Supported in Python 2.3 and above, in 2.2 it is more complicated. If needed, I can post a snippet for 2.2 as well. Thomas -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
