Steven D'Aprano added the comment:
A further thought... looking at your example code, I believe that part of the
__getattr__ is redundant.
def __getattr__(self, item):
try:
return self.__getattribute__(item)
except AttributeError:
return self.f.__getattribute__(item)
__getattr__ is only called if normal attribute lookup has already failed, so
the call to self.__getattribute__ is unnecessary. If it would have succeeded,
it would have already succeeded and __getattr__ won't have been called at all.
For more discussion on how to do automatic delegation, you should look at Alex
Martelli's recipe from the Python Cookbook:
https://code.activestate.com/recipes/52295-automatic-delegation-as-an-alternative-to-inherita/
Also, its a bit... funny... to call dunder methods directly. (I'm deliberately
not using the word "wrong".) They are implementation, not interface. I think
your __getattr__ should be:
def __getattr__(self, name):
return getattr(self.f, name)
It also looks nicer :-)
