Yes, this is the problem. Each module imports the other. > Therefore you get two distinct MySet classes, and consequently two > distinct MySet.__instance class attributes. Are you sure? This goes against my understanding: that 'import foo' will not re-import a module that's already been imported, but will instead simply return the existing module. So, I think if one evaluated 'myset is __main__', you'd find they are exactly the same module under different names; and therefore that there is only *one* instance of 'MySet', again under two names. -- \ “Science doesn't work by vote and it doesn't work by | `\ authority.” —Richard Dawkins, _Big Mistake_ (The Guardian, | _o__) 2006-12-27) | Ben Finney -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
