Apart from compatibility issues as mentioned in the UserList documentation, deriving from it will give you a classic class, whereas deriving from list will give you a new style class.

Same applies to dict/UserDict. -- \S -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.chaos.org.uk/~sion/ ___ | "Frankly I have no feelings towards penguins one way or the other" \X/ | -- Arthur C.
