If you mean "attribute" in the Python sense, then this is wrong, because you're just defining it in terms of concrete types again. There is no rigorous definition in Python terms, because Python doesn't formally embody the concept. But that doesn't mean the concept isn't real. There are other languages that do embody it, for example, C. A Python tuple is like a C struct, and a Python list is like a C array. -- Greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
