Well, somehow you have to hook into the object to trap modifications to it, 
no? The other option is via a debugger interface, which works at the bytecode 
level with the interpreter itself. Look into the python debugger (pdb) for 
this. Incidentally, ddd knows how to interface to pdb and can do what you are 
asking about. It's been a long time since I've used it, but I've done exactly 
that with ddd in the past.
