If you're going to do everything from the "constructor", then why on earth would you make it a class? (Incidentally, __init__() is the initializer, not the constructor, which is called __new__() ) If you want to make a proper class out of it, you'd move the initalization code into the __init__(), call, the stuff that only needs to be called once per instance. On the other hand, you have a class attribute 'elements, which gets initialized outside of any mmthod. And everything else is just locals. > I just put in pass for now.

Anyway, the if __name__ stuff does not belong inside any class. This is Python. -- DaveA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
