Hiya Ken - drop me a line, man ;^) I was just about to write that the 'pythonic' choices here would appear to be between: - some kind of event / delegate decorator - or some magical Event base class in builtins, etc. I'm generally (and usually specifically) opposed to magic, so I was asking myself whether the Python community at large have adopted decorators as 'pythonic' yet. Possibly not, but if it seems to be The Future, then I like that a lot better (and I like it better as a sustainable pattern to bridge these kinds of gaps) than anything else I can think of...
