I think python is a bit inconsistent here, by using 'def' for two different things. I think it would have been more consistent if def always produces a function to be used as such and that methods had there own keyword. That would make the magic of bound methods more explicit. -- Antoon Pardon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
