I'm aware that would solve your issue. I'm also aware that Python rarely does a 'return self' at the end of methods. Since that probably isn't going to change, a helper function is probably your best way forward. >> Have you verified that this is a problem in Python? > > ?

What this thread is about is trying to fix it on stdlib level, so that people don't have to reinvent the wheel every time. Did you really expect your idea to just sail through with no opposition, no counter-ideas, no reasons why it might not, or would not, work? > Thanks to Chris for his suggestion. Ethan, please stay away from this thread. Wow, you're rude. -- ~Ethan~
