I meant: >>> class A(object): ... def do(self): ... print self.__class__, self.__class__.__bases__ ... >>> a = A() >>> a.do() <class '__main__.A'> (<type 'object'>,) What goes on behind the scenes to make a.do() evaluate the do method with a bound to self in that method? Is this implemented in C, Python? I think I have a grasp of how to use objects, but I was wondering about the implementation I suppose. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
