(just to save you the pain later: http://wiki.python.org/moin/GoogleGroupsPython ) So what have you written so far? Is this a homework assignment and you've been covering certain parts of Python in a certain order? Is it part of learning some tutorial? There are so many ways of accomplishing this sort of thing, that without some constraints, there are a dozen reasonable responses. I'll try one: in the class Player, you make a pair of methods, purchase() and income(), which manipulate the instance attribute assets. Then you make a property that returns the assets. Class Player: .... def purchase(self, amount): self.assets -= amount def income(self, amount): self.assets += amount def wealth(self): return self.assets -- DaveA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
