That can't be. register must be a bound name - not necessarily an imported function; it could also be something being set through assignment (register = Registry()). > Yet I cannot figure where this @ sign came from. That's a function decorator; see PEP 318. Regards, Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
