What does the S stand for?
Untested and possibly incomplete:
def factory(methodname, cls=dict, flag=True):
def method(self, *args, **kwargs):
self.modified = flag
return getattr(cls, methodname)(self, *args, **kwargs)
return method
class SDict(dict):
__init__ = factory('__init__', flag=False)
__setitem__ = factory('__setitem__')
__delitem__ = factory('__delitem__')
clear = factory('clear')
pop = factory('pop')
popitem = factory('popitem')
setdefault = factory('setdefault')
update = factory('update')
