Perhaps your definition matches the wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-class_object And I am using the extended definition on the talk page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:First-class_object#Is_it_is.2C_or_is_it_aint.3F [Evidently the arguments of this thread are repeatedly played out elsewhere :-; ] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
