Thanks for the suggestion Steven. Hopefully my last email on the subject
helped explain the intention a little better.
I'll look into descriptors some more. I had the feeling I needed to use one
(or more) of the following:
descriptors
decorators
metaclasses
None of which I know much about yet. I will do some reading & test out your
suggestion. Thanks again.
