in the text above i wrote "Decorators" rather than "Descriptors".  it
was in response to bruno's comment, also above.  sorry for the
confusion.
also, sorry for the inflammatory language - by referring to the
titanic
i didn't mean that python was a disaster, rather that the "iceberg" is
still there (i am not 100% sure what the iceberg is, but it's
something
to do with making namespaces explicit in some places and not others).

anyway, it was only a small point.  thanks for all the replies.
didn't
respond earlier as i was at work.  now i can go back and polish that
code...
