Hi, Chris Thanks for your reply very much. After i debug the code step by step, I'm found the "return cl()" in pykickstart/version.makeVersion() exec the __init__ ! Maybe my description is not clearly, but i'm try to do this. 1. just suppose the DEVEL=F13, use pdb to trace in returnClassForVersion, the v is: --------------------------------- (Pdb) p v <class 'f13.F13Handler'> ================== 2. and returnClassForVersion return a Class to makeVersion 3. the makeVersion instance f13.F13Handler(), but f13.F13Handler does not have a __init__ func, so exec BaseHandler.__init__ instead. I've learned those knowledge in book, but have not used in mycode. So have puzzle above. Thanks again, for the foolish question.
