class Kvariable: def setVariable(self, variable): self.output = variable def showVariable(self): print self.output x = Kvariable() y = Kvariable() x.setVariable("James_01") y.setVariable("Kath_01") x.showVariable() y.showVariable() x.setVariable('3.14159') y.setVariable("python.org") x.showVariable() y.showVariable() jim-on-linux http://www.inqvista.com On Monday 06 November 2006 02:00, kath wrote: > hi, Larry Bates .... thanks for the reply... > > > You might consider doing it the same way wx > > passes things around.
