Thanks for your reply. It definitely clears the issue. I'm writing an article to Dr. Dobbs about the Python object model and I wouldn't want to be inaccurate. I fill a little like Leibnitz :-) . It's a curious coincidence that two separate people notice the same documentation issue that lingere for such a long time in such a short time span.
