Like I said, the code was a sample of what I was trying to do, not the entire thing.. I just wanted to see if the metaphor was kosher. It sounds to me from your answer that this is unexpected behavior, so I'll go ahead and post the whole thing. My guess is that it is a python bug.. Run it (a simple puzzle game solved by breadth first search), and the first time state() is called inside the method, it calls __init__. Second time, and therafter, it calls __call__. I've highlighted where the code fails by putting a pdb.set_trace(). Anyways, I've got a workaround (simply pass in any new objects needed from the caller), but it is truly annoying that python is either misleading or broken in this way. Attached find code, does not work vs. 2.6..
