I think the point was meant to be the number of keys that need to be
reached for, not just the number of times Shift needs to be pressed.

Do you mean this one?

http://code.activestate.com/recipes/52295-automatic-delegation-as-an-alternative-to-inherita/

That's based on old-style classes. With new-style classes it fails to
delegate dunder methods like __str__. That recipe should be considered
obsolete.
