RE: [Xotcl] [Fwd: Bug with namespace'd Class?]

because "self" is a command in the xotcl namespace. you will also find that there are others, such a "my"

If you don't import xotcl, you end up with source that looks like this:

::xotcl::Class foo
Foo instproc bar {} {
   puts "[::xotcl::self] is a [::xotcl::my info class]"
}


I'd suggest, do something like the following...

package require XOTcl 1.3
namespace eval fooPackage {
   namespace import ::xotcl::*
   Class Foo
   Foo instproc bar {} {
     puts "[self] is a [my info class]"
   }
}


hope that helps.
