Ah, an optimization huh? So, by saving 1/2 a second by not typing "(object)" in your example code, the consequences are that I wasted my time explaining that you should use new style classes, and you wasted your time reading and responding to my explanation, and now I'm wasting my time *again* telling you off for wasting my time in the first place. There should be a term for "optimization" techniques that actually slow things down instead of speeding them up. -- Steven. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
