Thanks, Michele. My intention wasn't to abandon explicit self but to replace it by a shorter and unique entity. I searched a little for similar suggestions in the past but didn't find them so I decided to post. I admit that my suggestion was half-baked. But at least I learned something: a heated debate isn't bound to become an endless thread if the OP abstains from answering idiot replies ;) -- Regards/Gruesse, Peter Maas, Aachen E-mail 'cGV0ZXIubWFhc0B1dGlsb2cuZGU=\n'.decode('base64') -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
