Are you trying to use your superclass as a factory? If so, one option is something like: py> class A(object): ... @staticmethod ... def subclass(i): ... return A.__subclasses__()[i]() ... py> class B(A): ... pass ... py> class C(A): ... pass ... py> A() <__main__.A object at 0x011861B0> py> A.subclass(0) <__main__.B object at 0x01186070> py> A.subclass(1) <__main__.C object at 0x011861B0> I've never used this strategy, but I know that others have. You can probably search the list for __subclasses__ and find some more information. STeVe -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
