Yes, I realised that subclass/superclass relations cannot be quicly solved. I haven't looked at the Lisp implementation and can't comment on it. I suspect that using something like splay trees to re-adjust the search graph at every search would speed things up a bit. -- Catalin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
