You could just call init on them... >>> class C: ... def __init__(s,x,y): ... s.x = x ... s.y = y ... def __str__(s): return 'x,y = %s, %s' % (s.x, s.y) ... >>> for n in range(3): L.append(C(n,n+1)) ... >>> for c in L: print c ... x,y = 0, 1 x,y = 1, 2 x,y = 2, 3 >>> # -- NOW CALL INIT >>> for c in L: C.__init__(c,42,66) >>> # or it could be >>> # for c in L: c.__init__(42,66) if you prefer ... >>> for c in L: print c ... x,y = 42, 66 x,y = 42, 66 x,y = 42, 66 >>> > err ... how do I destroy an instance ? Stop anything referring to it: In the above: L = [] will delete all the items in L - provided nothing else refers to them HTH, -- Alan Gauld Author of the Learn to Program web site Temorarily at: http://uk.geocities.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ Normally: http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
