I suppose that a typical lazy newbie will just skip metaclasses and descriptors on the grounds of not understanding them immediately. It's the 'quest of guruhood' phase when novices start browsing wikis and obscure python-dev discussions to find out how these things work. All the documentation I've seen regarding these features mentions that the user probably doesn't need to know about them; this is especially true for metaclasses. -- Ville Vainio http://tinyurl.com/2prnb -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
