I'm creating mulitple instances, putting them in a list, iterating through the list to send them to some functions where process them with some instance specific parameters. Something along the lines of: bob = someobject() harry = someobject() fred = someobject() parameterdict = {'bob':(0,1,2),'harry':(3,4,5),'fred':(6,7,8)} people_list = (bob, harry, fred) for person in people_list: add_parameters(person) def add_parameters(person) mytuple = parameterdict[??????instance.name????] person.x = mytuple[0] person.y = mytuple[1] person.z = mytuple[2] ... alternatively there is probably a very much easier way of doing it. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
