Can you tell us the pros and cons of using slots? Although I haven't used them yet, they seem like a way to lock down a class so you don't accidentally add new attributes to that class. (emp.name vs emp.nmae) Might be handy when working on a team too. Although something like Pychecker would most likely catch those accidents. <shrug> I dunno.
