> Any ideas? Yes, don't write accessors for every single instance variable you have. In some languages that might be appropriate, or considered good style. In Python, it's entirely unnecessary and you should just access instance variables directly when you want to, and in the odd case where you want to do something more than set/get/del them you can resort to properties (when a nice clear method wouldn't fit). (Sorry not to answer the question directly. If you feel you really need to use accessors then go ahead, but I just wanted you to know that many Python programmers feel quite differently about them than, say, C++ or Java programmers might.) -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
