You are exactly right Walter. I have not even considered this angle yet. Most of the complaints i hear are the redundant use of self. Which I lamented about but have become accustom(brainwashed) to it. I would remove this if it where up to me. I also hear a lot of complaints about speed. But never once in my life a problem with new users and string formatting. hmmm... food for thought -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
