Thank you to everyone who answered.

As I feared, it seems that there's no really simple way of dealing with 
arbitrary messages at arbitrary parts of my code.

I'm currently playing around with a few ideas, one of which is a 
decorator to print information about function calls. However, what I'd 
like to avoid is having to explicitly call the decorator on every method. 
I guess that there's metaclass trickery I can play. Does anyone have any 
pointers on how I can apply a decorator to every method in a class 
automatically?
