I wanted to thank you Michele for for supplying this very informative link (and your work on the piece). I'm just getting into Python and have been "lurking" on this list. I have not yet gotten into a real world problem that involved nontrivial MRO, but recognized (as in intuitive suspicion) that such could be a concern in a complex class pattern design. One of those things that keeps nagging when addressing other issues. Now I can compartmentalize it and make better progress :~) Thanks again, Lee C -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
