A python object which forwards all get/set requests (and functions) to a list of (identical) child objects

class ObjectList(object):
    def __init__(self, child_objects):
        self.child_objects = child_objects

    def __getattr__(self, name):
        def looper(*args, **kwargs):
            for obj in self.child_objects:
                attr = getattr(obj, name)
                attr(*args, **kwargs)
        return looper

    def __setattr__(self, key, value):
        if key in ['child_objects']:
            super(ObjectList,self).__setattr__(key,value)
        else:
            for obj in self.child_objects:
                setattr(obj, key, value)
