What's the name of this python design pattern? :-)
Don't know. Perhaps we could call it the FigLeaf pattern (covering up what you don't want seen)? There's another possibility that's even more pythonish (I won't say pythonic, since it's not necessarily a *recommended* thing to do): class A: m1 = B.__dict__['m1'] m2 = B.__dict__['m2'] ... I propose calling this the Magpie pattern (stealing the shiny baubles you want and hiding them away in your own nest). -- Greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
