Okay, I'll mark this as on-hold until you find the relevant code.

I'm not sure why you think modifying the class definition would look weird.  That is the normal and intended place to put methods.  Likely, the only reason that you had any success at all when attaching a function to an instance was that it didn't need access to either "self" or "class".
