I think you are as well :) IIUC then the question is: how can I programatically/dynamically create a class that has some attributes derived from data that is known at runtime?

It may seem cryptic but that's only because it's unusual to do this. You are creating a "type" and that is the constructor for type objects. -- Oscar _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
