How to fake/proxy a class in Python

Question

I wrote some wrapper which has another object as an attribute. This wrapper proxies (forwards) all attribute requests with __getattr__ and __setattr__

Answer 1

in case someone else is looking for a more complete proxy implementation

Although there are several python proxy solutions similar to those OP is looking for, I could not find a solution that will also proxy classes and arbitrary class objects, as well as automatically proxy functions return values and arguments. Which is what I needed.

I've got some code written for that purpose as part of a full proxying/logging python execution and I may make it into a separate library in the future. If anyone's interested you can find the core of the code in a pull request. Drop me a line if you'd like this as a standalone library.

My code will automatically return wrapper/proxy objects for any proxied object's attributes, functions and classes. The purpose is to log and replay some of the code, so i've got the equivalent "replay" code and some logic to store all proxied objects to a json file.
