But this doesn't have any particular meaning. If I run a dir(obj) command all attributes of obj will be returned and I can be sure these are all. In C# I can reflect on attributes of an assembly which is a well defined entity. "Program" is not an entity. It's kind of a user interface name in StarTreck ( which prefers "computer" for this purpose though ). This way we cannot design systems. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
