You're welcome.

As a general solution, you can also include a 'auto wrapper' that will 
pass through calls to the wrapped object if they're not defined at the 
current level.

Just put:

def __getattr__ ( self, name ):
	return getattr ( self.db, name )

... into the class, and then you won't have to write 'trivial' wrappers 
for all the methods that simply pass the call to the wrapped object.
