Graeme Dumpleton has also subsequently written a library to handle easier creation of correct proxy types: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/wrapt

(is "Graeme" another spelling for "Graham"?)

It isn't as simple as changing one lookup function though - abstract.c reads the type slots directly, and those are already hairy performance critical code paths (especially the binary operator type dispatch).

Oh indeed, you're right. I think my proposal is taking water.

Regards

Antoine.
