It's only special methods such as __getitem__, ... You can override normal method on a per-object basis just by adding a callable attribute with its name to the object: >>> class A(object): ... def foo(self): print 'A.foo' ... >>> a = A() >>> a.foo() A.foo >>> def a_foo(): print 'a.foo' ... >>> a.foo = a_foo >>> a.foo() a.foo -- Arnaud -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
