Stop right there. Class Address contains all data about one *person*? Please consider renaming that class Person, and having a separate class Address. Interruption for a reality check: A person may be related to zero, one or many addresses. An address may be related to zero, one or many persons. The relationship may take many forms e.g. "lives at", "once lived at", "has been noticed loitering outside", ... OK, now you can resume your normal programming ;-) BTW, why object['name'] and not object.name? Cheers, John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
