I might be being bit OT, but, you should give Common Lisp a try. It does something similar for functions versus variables. As for the issue, I suppose I can see how this would be confusing. I don't agree with your solution, though. I happen to like the interchangeability of the different sorts of attributes, so that x.foo() can be a method call, a classmethod call, or a call on a function that is an attribute. -- Devin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
