Not from personal experience, but these have been mentioned:
- multithreading: create class A' like class A, but with specific methods
synchronized
- persistence
- transactions: pass a transaction context through a call hierarchy spanning
several objects and let the transaction fail if certain methods fail

It may very well be that these can be implemented in current Python, but
this only means that Python already has good support for AOP.
