Deep override

I've never used it, but I can give it a try:

In your own program:
====================

import webchecker

def AlwaysOne(*args,*kw): return 1

webchecker.Checker.checkforhtml = AlwaysOne

class SomethingElse(webchecker.Checker):
	...etc etc...

====================

The important thing I'd think is to redefine
"checkforhtml" before Checked get's referenced
by your own class.

Dunno.

What does everyone else think?

Alas, I don't have my Python on this silly
employer's development machine.

Good luck!
