Sorry, that's a poor example, since you were talking about attributes rather than methods. Must stop posting before coffee *wink* Rewording: How is this scenario different from an API change where self.some_attribute gets changed to self.attribute? Surely this is just a downside to Python's lack of declarations, rather than specific to Python's lack of enforced data hiding? -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
