Is there a way to lock down myInst so that it still refers to the original object, and is there some special member that will allow me to override the equals operator in this case? Or is that simply blasphemous against everything Python holds sacred? Certainly there is some keyword that I don't know about.
No. The assignment operator with a bare name on the left hand side is not overridable.
You can override attribute access, however, with .__getattr__/.__getattribute__.
