You might care if you have many instances but few classes, and the size of template_body is significant. Although with this design it is possible to cache template bodies within the 'read_body_from' function if necessary. Also I was under the impression that the OP wanted these attribute to be accessible from the class object as well. -- Arnaud -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
