Yes. It's a reference to an instance of the ‘foo’ type. That instance is also a namespace; in other words, its attributes are in a distinct namespace from all other instances. This is complicated by the fact that it *also* gives access to the attributes of ‘foo’, shared by all instances of that type. But that's part of what it means to be an instance of the ‘foo’ type. > Also, in 'one.x'. would 'one' be the name space? It's *a* namespace. Since ‘one.x’ also presumably has attributes, then it, too, is a namespace. Learn more about classes and namespaces in Python's documentation <URL:http://docs.python.org/tutorial/classes.html>. In fact, you should work through the entire tutorial from start to finish, experimenting manually with each example until you unsderstand before moving on. That will give you a very solid grounding in Python. -- \ “I got fired from my job the other day.
