I can tell you from my experience that this works; I've used this
before to make something very much like this proxy-class:

class RequestCalculations(object):
    def __init__(self, request):
        self.serviceType, self.facade =
makeMessageFacadeInstance(request)
        return

    def __getattr__(self, name):
        return getattr(self.facade, name)
    
(rest of the code omitted)
