And which "lead" is the correct lead to follow? And more importantly WHY? You failed to offer any substance to your comments. They left myself (and many others) wanting. > If you have a short memory then you should definitely use one way -- the > correct way for all cases -- to call the parent's class init method. Again WHAT IS the correct way? We've heard your opinion now let's hear some fact based arguments. > Otherwise your future self is going to hate your current self for > introducing potential buggy code. Where is the buggy code? Show me how Ship.__init__() can break. Anyone can argue, few can offer facts. If you bring an argument that Ship.__init__() can break if someone changes the code then that IS NOT an valid argument. ANY code can be broken with the addition or subtraction of a single char. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
