Shiyao Ma's explanation is too complicated for *my* feeble mind to get, and I've been using Python for over 15 years. Either I have no idea what Ma is trying to say, or Ma has no idea what (s)he's trying to say. :-) >>To that end, you need to access the namespace where 'self' is in. `self` is a local variable of the method. Accessing the local namespace is automatic. -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
