I should point out that leading-and-trailing-double-underscore names are 
reserved for use by the language.

It's unlikely that Python will introduce a special method named 
__orig_get__, and in truth the prohibition against using such names is 
honoured more in the breach than in the observance (e.g. people often use 
metadata names like __version__, __author__, etc.). But just be aware 
that you are in technical breach of Python best practices, and should 
consider renaming it as _orig_get or __orig_get.
