Thanks to this thread, and after a bit of reading, I've finally managed to discover that in Python there are class attributes and instance attributes, the former working similarly to C++'s static member variables and the latter being more like proper member variables. And there was light. Python.org's tutorial could cover this issue a bit better than it does. Thanks for the help, Rui Maciel -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
