Your question has benn answered - let me just add this from the dir()-docs: Note: Because dir() is supplied primarily as a convenience for use at an interactive prompt, it tries to supply an interesting set of names more than it tries to supply a rigorously or consistently defined set of names, and its detailed behavior may change across releases. from http://docs.python.org/lib/built-in-funcs.html Regards, Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
