I meant something like... Class C: replace = heapreplace Cs = {} ... if not isinstance(x, C) T = type(x) cls = cache.get(T) if cls is None: cls = type('C_'+T.__name__, (C, T), {}) x.__class__ = cls (Of course, by dynamically reassigning __class__ and using the type constructor, this checks two of the three "crazy type system voodoo" boxes. I have no idea if it will work, or if I've made a mistake, or if you'll be able to understand it in six months.) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
