not in the usual sense, no. function arguments are not typed, so there's nothing to dispatch on. there are several cute tricks you can use to add dispatching on top of "raw" python, but that's nothing you should do unless you have very good reasons. > b. Can I overload __init__ method not in the usual sense, no. same reason as above. also see: http://www.python.org/doc/faq/programming.html#how-can-i-overload-constructors-or-methods-in-python </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
