Maybe I got your question wrong, but why not simply use something like: class Sender: def __init__(self, event): self.event = event def raiseEvent(self): self.event("Event") class Receiver: def receiveEvent(self, msg): print "Received %r" % msg r = Receiver() s = Sender(r.receiveEvent) s.raiseEvent() You can pass around functions and bound methods, I always found that's often a really good substitute for full-blown event mechanisms. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
