Yeah, that was bothering me, too. I was a little unsure if I'd even defined the problem properly; that's what I meant by: "Am I even asking the right questions?" I'll play around with the class a little and see if it helps me clarify to myself what I am trying to do. I was kind of on the right path, but I've never written much with __getitem__, __setitem__, etc. and it wasn't going at all like I had in mind. I've found that when I patch and patch and patch my code, it's usually because I am trying to do the wrong thing altogether. And I wasn't using Class attributes properly, either. Thanks so much! Sorry for the vague question, but I really think the class you made is close to what I needed.
