I've always understood OOP to be all about binding code and data together (methods as part of an object, rather than functions operating on data) - ie polymorphism, such that you say "do this" and the object knows how its "do this" should be done. That's at least as important as inheritance IMO. But yes, it is very hard to pin it down. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
