Hi Jim (wow, I almost typed jum... keyboard can't spell...*smile*)
To answer your question on instantiating an object, I don't know about
Pithon, but in C++ you are referring to the instantiation of a template
usually a class (there are function and data templates also, but that comes
later).
So you instantiate a type/function/data type, but the word instantiate can
also be used in the context of creating an object from a type. In the case
of template classes, a template is not of known type and therefore must be
instantiated into a "real" type before an object of that type can be
"instantiated" or created/initialized.
In short, "instantiate" in some instances can produce either a real
type/function/data or produce and initialize an object.
Hope that helps. The word "instantiate", like the word "object", may have
several meanings.
Good luck.
Oh, and take a moment to reflect on the news this morning. I hope the
people in Pakistan can recover and our relations can remain positive.
Sorry for the decent into politics, but this is news.
Cheers.

Hi Richard,
Thanks for asking which error I got. As it turned out, I needed to qualify
that the class I wanted to work with came from my module. I needed to say
import elevator
# Instantiate the Elevator class.
e = elevator.Elevator()
That brings up a question. Do you instantiate classes or do you instantiate
objects? I think that the terminology in the above comment line may be
wrong.
Thanks.
