That's because it just tries to emulate CLOS. Use the Hyperspec or
other Common Lisp tutorial or book covering OOP.

All right. But what is it you want to do?

What "it"?

Yes, lisp &rest has been translated to python **.

The way to use "internal" methods is to NOT use them!
That's why they're internal, because external code don't, must not,
should not use them!

So I still don't know what you want :-(

A bad day in () is better than a good day in {}.
You can take the lisper out of the lisp job, but you can't take the lisp out
of the lisper (; -- antifuchs
