Thanks Paul,

Ugh, just forget everything you ever knew about java.  Do some Zen
exercises to erase your mind.  Then read a Python tutorial as if
you're starting from nothing.

Yeah, surely right, but easier said than done...
I'm working on it.

Taking your example.

import itertools

    class Account(object):
       def __init__(self, holder, gen=itertools.count()):
          self.__accountnumber = gen.next()

If you consider my python illiteracy,

"itertools.count(): Make an iterator that returns consecutive integers starting with n"

to me that sounds like that solves the increment issue, but what about
future modules wanting to plug in a different
numbering format, e.g. 205434.1234 or whatever?
