Which I've never really seen the point of in Python, or any other language for that matter. Just create one instance of the class during initialisation, put it in a global somewhere, and use it thereafter. If you really want to make sure nobody creates another instance by accident, delete the class out of the namespace after instantiating it. -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
