Doh! I wasn't aware of the point when the lambda expression is evaluated.

Thank you, I replaced the direct assignment with a proxy function call,
and now it works.
def __init__( self, name, calls ):
self.name = name
self.calls = calls
def forceEval(x):
setattr( self, fn, lambda *y,**z: self.__callFn__(x, y, z) )
for fn in ( 'Clear', 'Append', 'foobar' ):
forceEval(fn)
