It's definitely too early for you to draw conclusions ;) > Can anyone help with this problem? You have successfully created a bound method, now you need to invoke it: >>> class Param(object): ... def returnString(self): ... return "hello" ... >>> p = Param() >>> p.returnString <bound method Param.returnString of <__main__.Param object at 0x7facb3a16a50>> >>> p.returnString() 'hello' Unlike some other langages Python does not implicitly invoke functions or methods. That makes it easy to pass them around like any other object. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
