Aha.. thanks! The reference book I'm working from neglects to mention __new__, so I'd assumed __init__ was the constructor. It hadn't occurred to me that python would separate the functions (I still don't see exactly why it would be useful to do that, but perhaps insight will come with time). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
