I don't know if you saw my earlier post but something like this has worked for me.
What about something like: supply = supply() compressor = compressor(supply) combuster1= combuster(compressor) combuster2= combuster(compressor) compressor.append(combuster1) compressor.append(combuster2) or perhaps compressor.extend([combuster1, combuster2]) turbine = turbine(combuster) combuster.append(turbine) If you implement .append and .extend methods on your classes they will allow you to append single downstream objects or extend with a list of them. Just keep a list self.downstream and append/extend it. IMHO it makes what is going on intuitively obvious. -Larry Bates [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Bruno, > > Thanks.
