I knew I was going to get some lighting bolt from the community... =) It wasn't quite elegant, was it? =) Let's see if I can describe the problem without writing a treaty about it: I'm trying to implement a command queue manager. It can handle multiple queues that run in parallel and each queue is made of a list of arbitrary commands stored as strings. The commands are not necessarily executed immediately but might have a delay. But commands in an individual queue are executed in a strict first-in, first-out order. The machinery to handle the delays is provided by a third-party API I'm using. But it only handles actual code, not string commands. But at this stage when I place a command into the queue, only built-in commands are executed correctly. Methods that are part of an object are not. Which make sense: when the command is executed its environment doesn't know about that particular object. And that's where I'm stuck. I suspect I need to reshape the whole thing but at this point I don't quite know how. Manu -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
