Helmut,

I found the second reference (the one above) very useful thank you. 
Most other respondents to my original question did not seem to 
understand what I was asking or didn't read the question and simply 
proceeded to re-state what I had quoted from Beazley - well I understood 
what he was saying, I simply wanted to find out how Python did it at a 
lower level.  Your reference answered the question ;-)

Thanks,
Peter
