Well, let alone for the fact that two leading and trailing underscores means 'special' in python, these attributes are not exactly what they seem to be, i.e. a 'normal' type or dict: >>> type(object.__dict__['__class__']) <type 'getset_descriptor'> >>> type(type.__dict__['__dict__']) <type 'getset_descriptor'> George -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
