How do I catch any reference to an instance of a class, i.e., I want to
run some code as soon as an instance of a class is used in any way.
(and I don't want to define all of __add__, __ge__ etc etc etc etc etc)
The reason for the question is that I want to simplify the Message
Passing Interface (MPI) calls. I find it irritating that I have to
start a non-blocking send/receive and then check that the data has
arrived. Why not automagically check/wait for the data when it is
needed?
The second part that I also need to make that idea work is the ability
to change the instance to the received data, i.e., self=received data,
and then launch the original reference.
So I guess that the code I want to write is:
class MPI_tmp:
# temporary object that changes ITSELF into another object when
called in any way
def __on_any_call__(self):
self=newobject()
self.__run_the_anycall__()
which probably doesn't work :-)
Greatful for any ideas / Magnus
