I was attempting to re-define iter of a subclassed list, to find the "magic" method, but it didn't work. I'm not sure if "wrong" and "right" apply here: py> class NewList(list): ... def __iter__(self): ... return iter([8,9,10]) ... py> py> n = NewList([1,2,3]) py> py> def doit(*args): ... print args ... py> doit(*n) (1, 2, 3) py> for x in iter(n): ... print x ... 8 9 10 -- James Stroud UCLA-DOE Institute for Genomics and Proteomics Box 951570 Los Angeles, CA 90095 http://www.jamesstroud.com/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
