IIRC from the Pickaxe, to get at a method object, you call a method on the object whose specific job it is to return method objects. Unsurprisingly, this method is itself named "method". So: foo.bar #calls the "bar" method on foo foo.method(:bar) #returns the method "bar" of foo, as an object Cheers, Chris -- http://blog.rebertia.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
