On the contrary, now that I double checked, it can't be used that way; I don't want to modify the object I'm testing (it could be a third party object) nor I want to force it to be "registered" as a certain ABC; so __instancecheck__() is just useless here. -- Alan Franzoni -- contact me at public@[mysurname].eu -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
