(While I'm criticizing, I should point out that your quoting seems doublespaced. That makes me suspect buggy googlegroups. If you're using that, you should either find a real newsreader, use the mailing list, or manually fix the double spacing. Hundres of posts on here about it, just search out one of them) Abdul Abdul <abdul.s...@gmail.com> Wrote in message: > Dave, > > Thanks for your nice explanation.

Some languages blur the distinction, by not having any functions outside of classes. But that's not Python. > > -- DaveA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
