Opaque type are used in C++ as well, for data hiding - if private/public were that great for data hiding, the PIMPL idiom would not be used. That's the limitation I am talking about. Granted, it is relatively specific to C++, which use the C headers mechanism for API declaration. David -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
