I am just playing with inheritance to get a better understanding of it and since I am working with database connection, then I might as learn it by doing it. > I think the other stuff in the module is in support of the Connection > () class. ie.

This is why I like Python. Thanks for your help. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
