This is precisely what classes are for: allowing functionality and state to exist in a single object. > but not visible outside the method. Bind the state to a name with a single leading underscore (‘_foo’), which is the convention for “not part of the public interface”. Don't look for hard access restrictions, though, because they don't really exist in Python. -- \ “I hope that after I die, people will say of me: ‘That guy sure | `\ owed me a lot of money’.” —Jack Handey | _o__) | Ben Finney -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
