Dan already answered to this. Just as a side note, and since you're trying to be "idiomatic", Python's naming convention is to use all_lower for functions, MixedCaps for classes (except - mostly for historical reasons - the builtin types...), and ALL_LOWER for symbolic (pseudo) constants. > def Device(DeviceType): > if DeviceType=='PSP': > return PSP() > elif DeviceType=="Power Supply" > return PWR() > etc... > > > Thanks! > > -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
