There is one gotcha associated with using classes as namespaces: you have to be careful to avoid instantiating them. That goes triple if you modify the class attributes, because modifying an attribute in an instance does *not* propagate the change to the class. -- Aahz (a...@pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "It is easier to optimize correct code than to correct optimized code." --Bill Harlan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
