[Tutor] Proxies/Interceptors for file-like objects

Hello, I'm trying to intercept one or more methods in file-like objects (in this particular case just sys.stdin really), essentially I need a decorator/proxy implemented. What's the idiomatic way to do this? Since file objects do not have a base class(?), would I need to implement all methods to
