But I want to avoid having to write each wrapper myself. As it is now, when I want to add a public method to my class named myFunc, I first write myFunc which is a wrapper to the implementation: def myFunc(self): try: self.myFuncIMPL() except: # error handling code def myFuncIMPL(self): # do the real stuff here, no need to worry about error handling stuff # cuz its done in the wrapper I guess I'm just lazy, but I don't want to write the wrapper func for each new func I want to add. I want it done automatically. > I don't know. What does PHP's __call() do?
