external serialization was not part of your original definition. I think you have to be a *lot* more concrete here. repeatedly referring to "some kind of hypothetical property (that isn't a property)" and "some kind of hypothetical event (that isn't a public method)" and "some kind of hypo- thetical RAD tool" won't get you anywhere. </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
