Hm, I'd never thought of this before; something along the lines of:

 class derive(object):
     def __init__(self,parent):
         self.parent = parent
     def __getattribute__(self,attr):
         return getattr(self.parent,attr)

 myderivedobject = derive(myprototypeobject)

would do the trick quite nicely I guess.  I have one application that 
could benefit quite nicely from prototypes; I'll see if I can't work this 
in.  Thanks for the enlightenment!
