I am talking about "creating" attributes in class instances (not setting). I come from the C++ community where the definition of a class is separate from its implementation. My ambiguous question and the variety of replies I received actually helped me to understand that in Python a Class Object is created the moment it is written and is separate from the Object instance, which explains why some thought it strange that I would want to be able to block the adding of attributes, effectively blocking a simple form of inheritance. In C++ the class object IS the instance and many C++ programming books use the terms "Object" and "Instance" interchangeably. The splitting of Object and Instance is something that I did not catch in my readings of Python programming books. I think this is the first question I have ever posed to a newsgroup that has generated such a large thread. Thanks for the reply, Robert Johnson
