Dunno whether you'd call it compelling, but my current company uses multiple inheritance to compose a mega-class with different methods depending on what the mega-class's capabilities are. It's a pretty baroque design, admittedly, but I'm not sure how I'd do it differently from scratch. We've even implemented our own super() for cooperative method calls with classic classes. (This application was started in Python 1.4; we're slowly refactoring it, but we're still using Python 2.2/2.3 -- we didn't get rid of 1.5.2 until last July. Now you know why I've gotten even more conservative since I started this job last June...) -- Aahz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "It's 106 miles to Chicago.
