no, I don't know it. how do I define something into the top-level namespace? I assume I could place it into the root-package of my project, into the __init__ function. But how do I place it within my computers python installation (the big init)? > You could also use a super-duper super class from which to derive all > your other classes, and add/replace any methods you want there: > > class lazaridis(object): ...

I am not evaluating Python, I've started using it: http://case.lazaridis.com/wiki/Lang http://dev.lazaridis.com/base - I've noticed some interesting code on you website: " class file(file): def reopen(self, name=None, mode='w', bufsize=None): ... fh = file('test.txt', 'rb') print fh # <open file 'test.txt', mode 'rb' at 0xb7c92814> fh.reopen(mode='wb') " http://rightfootin.blogspot.com/2006/09/ruby-reopen.html does this mean that I can add a method to a class in a similar way with ruby? (by using class class-name(class-name): ) but the limitation is that I cannot do this with the python build-in types?: http://rightfootin.blogspot.com/2006/08/of-rocks-and-reptiles.html . -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
