subclassing list question

Hi,

I have a simple class that subclasses list:

class CaListOfObj(list):
""" subclass of list """
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
list.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)

a = CaListOfObj([1,2,3])

I want an instance method to be run EVERY time a is modified. Is this
possible?

Thanks,
Matthew
