Okay, let me try a less snippy approach. How do you feel about metaclass techniques such as this one by Carl Banks? http://code.activestate.com/recipes/573442/ This is pretty much what I had in mind when I said before that I believed such concerns could be addressed externally of the interpreter. Thankfully I thought to check Activestate before knocking up my own as proof-of-concept :) With Python 2.6/3.0 Carl's code could be easily (almost said 'trivially'...) extended to support the new __dir__ special method to exclude anything marked as private from the dir() results. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
