Hello I have a class A, and another class B which is a wrapper for it (a Product, inherited from SimpleItem.SimpleItem). I want B to delegate most attributes to A: class A: def __init__(self, title, ...): self.title = title .... class B(SimpleItem.SimpleItem): def __init__(self, id, title): self.id = id self.innerA = A(title) def __getattr__(self, name): return getattr(self.__dict__['innerA'], name) This works fine for most attributes *but* title. SimpleItem.Item has a class attribute 'title' and, altough B instances have no 'title' attribute at all, they inherit an empty class attribute 'title' from Item, and never goes thru __getattr__. How could I arrange things so 'title' comes from inner A instance, and *not* from Item base class? Gabriel Genellina Softlab SRL
