Years ago I contributed a recipe to the O'Reilly Python Cookbook, 2nd Ed - 6.12 Checking an Instance for any State Changes. My original submission was rather more naive than that but Alex Martelli, one of the editors, rather took a fancy to the idea and knocked into the more presentable shape that got published. I'm wondering whether there would be any way of turning this idea around to achieve what you want. -- Regards David Hughes Forestfield Software -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
