No, you get a Python object with both iterables as instance variables. Instance variables happen to be stored using a dict (which is accessible as .__dict__), but that's to some extent an implementation detail whose relevance here I fail to see. My point was that, as Ian explained, your __iter__() method, as written, is horribly broken. > It is nice... but I don't know if this is good form? I'm confused as to why you wrote a class (particularly when its name is an *action* rather than a noun; big red flag right there!) for your task in the first place. I think you'd be best served by moving your parsing code into a function and using a http://pypi.python.org/pypi/sorteddict , which provides the sorted-keys property you seemed to be trying to accomplish. Also, please avoid top-posting in the future. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style ) Cheers, Chris -- http://rebertia.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
