Unless I'm misunderstanding, couldn't one of __getattr__ or __getattribute__ make mapping other methods you don't override very simple and practical, not to mention fully automated with 2-3 lines of code? In particular, __getattr__ would seem good for your use since it is only called for attributes that couldn't already be located. I've had code that wrapped underlying objects in a number of cases, and always found that to be a pretty robust mechanism. -- David -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
