This works with :

 t.update = types.MethodType(another_update, t)

Oh, this *really* misleading what the intent of the programmer is, and 

In [29]: t.update
Out[29]: <bound method ?.<lambda> of <__main__.a instance at 0xa774d96c>>

all let think it's a method defined in t's class.
I prefer early binding with default parameters :

In [30]: def another_update(self, param) :pass
   ....:

In [31]: t.update = lambda x, self=t : another_update(self, x)

In [32]: t.update = lambda x, self=t, func=another_update : func(self, x)

In [33]: t.update
Out[33]: <function <lambda> at 0xa7744aac>

So we have a function and know it (probably) belongs to the instance.
