The variables string1 and string2 that you're passing here are in fact useless. They don't do anything inside the method. Is there any point for them? There's no need to pass __init__ variables just so you can assign self.variable_name = "fixed text". > def lenstring(self): > lenstr1=len(self.string1) > lenstr2=len(self.string2) I think you want self.lenstr1 and self.lenstr2 here - otherwise you're assigning local variables with the same name as those defined within the class, and throwing them away. > def printstr(self): > print lenstr1 > print lenstr2 Again, I think you want self.lenstr1 and self.lenstr2 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
