Answer 1

Here's a less verbose alternative that I found to work well in practice. Not sure if there are any disadvantages.

class TestClass:
    def __init__(self, a):
        self.a = a
    def b(self):
        print self.a

def wrap_test_class(*args, **kwargs):
    obj = TestClass(*args, **kwargs)
    obj.get_a = lambda: obj.a
    return obj

class MyManager(BaseManager): pass

MyManager.register('test', wrap_test_class)

This allows you to access a by calling proxy_object.get_a()
