That's where the generic system itself needs to be based on generic functions - then you can hook the lookup function so that proxies get looked up based on their target type rather than the fact they're a proxy.

Yep. :-) Also, when hooking into things at such a deep level, I'd be a bit worried that I was catching too *much*, or that I was imposing performance penalties on unrelated things. At least with __getattr__ you know what you're doing can *only* affect the proxy object and nothing else. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
