what should we use instead of the 'new' module?

I'm not sure why your example works: instancemethod is
used internally to wrap the function object when it's
invoked. The only other use for it
is to add a method to an instance, not
to a class. As another poster said, an instance method
in a class is simply the function object. Static and
class methods require wrappers, but those are both
built-in functions and they also have decorators.
