================================================= builtins instance have modifiable _class_?_ ================================================= __ http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2002-September/028978.html_

Samuele Pedroni asked if being able to directly assigning to class was allowed. Guido said "In 2.3, it's disallowed". It is highly discouraged in 2.2.2 but still doable.

my question and the limitation refer only to builtin types (int,dict ...), for instances of (user-defined) subtypes class will be still modifiable.

regards.
