Ok, but I wasn't talking about storing wrappers or relying on the object being wrapped at all. Just storing the physical path (string or tuple) at some opportune point (probably at a higher level in the application) when the object was modified.

Then given this path and the application object (which you could get to from _p_jar), you could recreate the wrapper if you needed it.
