Well, "a little bit of source-code help's the messages go down"
like the flying lady (Mary Poppins) said.

Without code, we can't know what you mean.

You *could* do some things like, say, you wanna add this
method to your functions:

>>> def SomeMethod(self, one, two, three): print one, two, three, id(self)

(hey, it's just an example).

So, you could do:

self.__class__.MethodName = SomeMethod

and presto, "self" has access to a new method called "MethodName",
which references the function "SomeMethod".

You could also create a new bound method, with:

import new
self.MethodName = new.instancemethod(SomeMethod, self, self.__class__)


and presto, you have a new bound method.

Good luck.
