Unrelated to *this* topic, but Andrew's "What's new in Python 2.2" still presents __slots__ as a way to constrain the instance variables: A new-style class can define a class attribute named __slots__ to constrain the list of legal attribute names. http://www.python.org/doc/current/whatsnew/sect-rellinks.html#SECTION000340000000000000000 This should probably be fixed.
