I was translating "class instance attributes" as "object attributes" since an "instance of a class" is called an "object". Now that I think about it, it could mean "attributes which are stored in classes". If I can add attributes to the objects which make up the tree, then great! I don't put any attributes in a class. > If we decide that the AST node must support attributes then I can also > add it to jython.

Slower is not better. I prefer to work in python, even if I have a few more rules. If it gets slower, I'll be forced to go to C. I tried to work with the C version of the AST for a few hours. It wasn't pleasant. -Eric
