What you appear to need here is some kind of proxying solution - a layer which records accesses to the objects, distinct from the objects themselves. I believe that the PyPy project provides something of this nature: http://codespeak.net/pypy/dist/pypy/doc/objspace-proxies.html Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
