Hello.

We are sorry but we cannot help you. This mailing list is to work on developing Python (adding new features to Python itself and fixing bugs); if you're having problems learning, understanding or using Python, please find another forum. Probably python-list/comp.lang.python mailing list/news group is the best place; there are Python developers who participate in it; you may get a faster, and probably more complete, answer there. See http://www.python.org/community/ for other lists/news groups/fora. Thank you for understanding.

Read carefully http://users.rcn.com/python/download/Descriptor.htm

Assuming desc() is a data descriptor class why are the following not the same???

class poop(object): var = desc() and class poop(object): def init(self): self.var = desc() In the second form the descriptor protocol for access to 'var' is ignored.

From http://users.rcn.com/python/download/Descriptor.htm:

...transforms b.x into type(b).dict['x'].get(b, type(b))..

Please note the first type(b).

Oleg.

       Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
