asyncore from Python's standard library does that.

It's not a great idea at all. For many reasons, one being the  
principle of least astonishment.

Much rather, copy the attributes. But then you start going the winding  
path down to "I'm merging this instance into myself", and you end up  
with messy code.

Anyway, the file-like methods are a finite set. Why not try to be  
complete? (This issue has bitten me by the way, and I did f.readline =  
f._file.readline.)
