dolgion ch: >good to know about this __slots__ thing, i'll keep it in mind<
What you have to keep in mind is that it's better to not use __slots__ unless you really need to. Generally you need it not for the purposes a person coming from a static language is tempted to use it for. It's mostly useful for small classes that don't need subclassing that have to be instantiated a large number of times. As far as I know, it's meant as a memory optimization, not a way to define things in a more explicit way. Bye, bearophile -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
