Depends on the definition of 'type'. I often have instances of different - possibly unrelated - classes in a same list. Fact is that these instances usually share a common (implied) interface, but, well, sometimes they don't... > It looks like whenever I need to group different objects I create a > class, if only so I can use more meaningful names than '[2]' for the items. You may not know, but Python has a builtin dict (ie : hashtable) type. It's very handy when you just want to "group different objects" while still using meaningful names. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
