No need. I just had the newfunc utility in my library (I think copied
from a recipe in the Python cookbook by Alex Martelli) so I used it.
In this case it is overkill, though. Also, I had no read your post
when I posted my solution, otherwise I would not have sent it ;)
Anyway, the setdocstring utility to extract the parent method was not
explicit in your post and may be of some use to somebody.
