I am sorry my question was not clearer. There are *many* parameters, and the list can change, so I want to avoid listing them all in the Param class's __init__ function, using the strategy above. Q1: Is this approach reasonable? (This is a newbie question about unforseen hazards.) Q2: Is it horrible design to isolate the parameters in a separate class? (Comment: currently several classes may rely on (parts of) the same parameter set.) Thanks, Alan Isaac -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
