Thanks. I was looking for a "short way" to do it because I have a lot "some_object.attr.attr or some_object.other_attr.attr" in code. it looks like I cannot replace attr with just other variable and must type some_object.other_attr.attr or your solution which is however longer to type :) > > -- > Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
