If an integer variable is an integer, and a string variable is a string, and float variable is a float, and a list variable is a list (there's a pattern here), shouldn't a class variable be a class and an instance variable be an instance? I had never noticed the usage of "variable" to mean attribute until a few months ago. What's going on? Why did people decide that confusing variables and attributes of variables was a good thing? What's next, describing dictionary keys as "dictionary variables"? Sorry to pick on Diez, he's not the only one, just the latest example. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
