Consider it "properties for modules": a = obj.factory b = obj.factory doesn't promise that a is b, because factory might be a property that returns a new object each time. Actually, this behaviour pre-dates properties. If obj has a __getattr__ or __getattribute__ method, then it could do the same thing. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
