Sorry, I forgot I unsubscribed from the mailing list and didn't see any replies and deduced that no one had noticed anything unexpected about the idea. 

I guess everyone expects this behavior since Python implemented this idea of "everything is an object", but I think this branch of OOP (on the branch of the Tree of Programming Languages) has to be chopped off.  The idea of everything is an object is backwards (unless your in a LISP machine).  Like I say, it's trying to be too pure and not practical.

Whatever,
