It's been a while since I do any serious work in C++, but AFAIK you *can't* call a private method from another class (even from a derived one) unless you use "friend". Maybe you want a "protected" method - by convention, in Python they're written as _name (single underscore). -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
