Nope. Even in C++, where classes can define certain things as const, private, and other such restrictions, you can always get around them by manipulating pointers appropriately. In Python, there's a *convention* that a leading underscore means "private", but the language doesn't enforce anything about it. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
