The day I wrote a CORBA method intercepter in 8 lines of code using __getattr__ to catch 2 or 3 interesting method calls out of 20 or 30 defined in the IDL. The interesting methods I handled, and the rest I just forwarded to the remote CORBA object. Unfortunately, the client expected this to be an expensive job, and I was only able to bill him for 1/2 an hour (I had to test the code in addition to writing it). -- Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
