Thanks for the prompt response. My real problem is that there is no place inside a tutorial where all the terms like object, data, method, operation, attributes are explained on a single page *with* one small example of each. I am *really* confused when they occur now. I found this place a better help http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Python/Object-Orientation-in-Python/ I want something like this. e.g. Alan when I read your tut for OOP, I don't get what you mean by data, variable, and object and difference between them. Thanks again. With warm regards, -Payal _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
