Actually scratch that. Descriptors are only created when the type object is created. I can't think of anything that would need to be done in an instance only if no dict is present, so using slots probably almost certianly makes object creation faster. Still, the last word is the profiler. Carl Banks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
