Is there a way to change the closure of a python function?

I do not think so: the corresponding attributes/types ("__closure__", "cell")
are explicitely designed to be read only.

However, I never missed closure changebility. Should I really need it
(in an extreme rare case), I would bind the corresponding variable
to an object which could be modified at will.
