Thanks to both of you for your incredibly prompt replies. My homework
for tonight is to digest the descriptor protocol...
Peter, thanks for suggesting using staticmethod() to get the behaviour
I was expecting. I've only used staticmethod as a decorator before now.
Chris, I agree that it's not every day you assign functions to class
attributes, but it does have its uses (I won't bore you with mine).
Now that I know how it treads on the toes of Python's method magic, I
can decide whether it's the best approach or not.
Thanks again,
Greg
