Well, using Python, you can access to a private member of a class just prepending an underscore and the class name (i.e.: _myClass__myAttribute). It doesn't sound good to me. I don't like private attributes being accesible from outside. So, I'd like to know if you can do it on Ruby. I think no, that you must to use a method, but I'm in doubt. Thank you. -- Imobach Gonz�lez Sosa imodev@softhome.net osoh@jabber.org
