I think the point was meant to be the number of keys that need to be reached for, not just the number of times Shift needs to be pressed. > Extending this to wrap methods of classes is also left as an exercise. > (Hint: don't subclass. Search the ActiveState Python recipes for "automatic > delegation" by Alex Martelli.) Do you mean this one? http://code.activestate.com/recipes/52295-automatic-delegation-as-an-alternative-to-inherita/ That's based on old-style classes. With new-style classes it fails to delegate dunder methods like __str__. That recipe should be considered obsolete. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
