Here's a link:

But Phillip's right, we're really not going AOP with this idea.  AOP
just uses some of the same concepts.  We really ought to call it a
"memento bag" or something similar.

In a way, it seems like AOP takes on a very different meaning in Python
than it does in Java.  For example in Java, if you want to modify a
class structure at runtime, you have a lot of barriers to overcome. 
Python has no such barriers.
