I personally would not prefer this, and would likely continue to use (), precisely for code clarity - let me explain: foo.nextval foo.val foo.previousval Which of the calls above referenced instance variables, and which ones called functions which changed the internal state of foo? I would have trouble saying, just based on the calls above. I would have to go back to the definition or documentation of foo to identify which is doing what. On the other hand, the following gives a better clue as to what is happening (granted not perfect, but better): foo.nextval() foo.val foo.previousval() ~G -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
