I can't reproduce the infinite recursion you observe, by merging said recipe and your definition of class Test, w/Python 2.4.2 on Mac OS 10.4. Can you please supply a minimal complete example, e.g. simplifying function logthemethod to just emit s/thing to stdout etc, that does exhibit the runaway recursion problem you observe?
