Is it possible for one class definition to have multiple metaclasses? I don't think it is, but I'm just checking to make sure. From what I know, you can only define "__metaclass__" to set the metaclass for a class, and that's it, is that correct? -David -- Presenting: mediocre nebula. -- ht

Nothing's wrong with python's oop inheritance, you just need to know that the parent class' __init__ is not automatically called from a subclass' __init__. Just change your code to do that step, and you'll be fine: class Parent( object ): def __init__( self ): self.x = 9 class C
