In http://bugs.python.org/issue19359#msg213530 I proposed to introduce a "proxy protocol" (proxy / tpproxy) that would be used as a fallback by PyObjectLookupSpecial to fetch the lookup target, i.e.:

def PyObjectLookupSpecial(obj, name): tp = type(obj) try: return getattr(tp, name) except AttributeError: return getattr(tp.tpproxy(), name) What do you think?

Would that increase the size of type objects? Would that matter? (There's a similar question that came up in the thread about adding the @ operator over on python-ideas, which is what made me think of it...) Paul
