The usual way is to provide a __getattr__ method, since this is invoked
after the usual mechanisms have failed to produce a sought attribute.
class Boo:
def run(self):
print "Yahooooo!"
def identify(self):
print repr(self)
class Foo:
testme = "I love you!"
def __init__(self):
self.test = Boo()
def __getattr__(self, attname):
return getattr(self.test, attname)
A = Foo()
B = Boo()
B.run()
B.identify()
A.run()
A.identify()

Yahooooo!

Yahooooo!
