Can (should) this be rewritten without exec?

Hello,

I do need some code that does someting like

--- snip ---
class X(object):
    def a(*arg, **kw):
        """This is test a"""
        print "func a", arg, kw
    a=staticmethod(a)
    def b(*arg, **kw):
        """This is test b"""
        print "func b", arg, kw
    b=staticmethod(b)

def __wrapper(func, *arg, **kw):
    func.__doc__
    print "start wrapper"
    func(*arg, **kw)
    print "done wrapper"

for c in ['a', 'b']:
    exec "%s = lambda *arg, **kw : __wrapper(X.%s, *arg, **kw)" % (c, c)
    exec "%s.__doc__ = X.%s.__doc__" % (c, c)

print a.__doc__
a(1, 2, 3, d=4, e=5, f=6)
b(1, 2, 3, d=4, e=5, f=6)
--- snap ---

Can this be rewritten without using 'exec'. In my real case 'X' is an
extension  module if that matters.

Thanks
Berthold
