Thanks for your reply. It definitely clears the issue. I'm writing an 
article to Dr. Dobbs about the Python object model and I wouldn't want 
to be inaccurate. I fill a little like Leibnitz :-) . It's a curious 
coincidence that two separate people notice the same documentation issue 
that lingere for such a long time in such a short time span.

Thanks, Gigi
