Well AFAIU a descriptor is an object with at least one method out of __get__, __set__ or __del__. I don see why implicitly calling one of these methods would be any more difficult when they are autonomous objects than when they are attributes. -- Antoon Pardon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
