thank you,

I was not exact enough.

It was not so easy, because I had to apply the super in a function
and not in the class itself.

but finally i got it to work:

#drFrame is inherited from wx.Frame
#in drFrame there are some calls to SetStatusText



import wx
from drpython import DrFrame

def Plugin(DrFrame):

  def SetStatusText(text, col):
    if col == 1:
      #text.find
      ind1 = text.find ("Col: ")
      if ind1 > -1:
        ind1 += len ("Col: ");
        ind2 = text.find (" ", ind1)
        nr = int (text [ind1:ind2]) + 1
        text = text [:ind1] + str (nr) + text[ind2:]
    super(type(DrFrame), DrFrame).SetStatusText(text, col)

  def NewStatusText(text, col=0):
    SetStatusText(text, col)

  setattr(DrFrame, 'SetStatusText', NewStatusText)


Is there a better/simpler/clearer solution?

thank you
