You forgot to include unit tests for someMethod(). Those would have caught the bug. The reality is that if you aren't doing unit testing, you aren't catching other bugs either, bugs which aren't caught by the compile-time tests in other languages and which aren't caught by PyChecker or PyLint either. Bugs which are probably much more common than typos like the above, too. Still, if you are really bothered by these things frequently, I believe recipes have been posted in the past which *do* allow you to avoid many such problems, by declaring the acceptable attribute names somewhere and using one of Python's many hooks to intercept and check attribute setting. Check the archives or the CookBook. -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
