how to make super() work with externally defined methods in inheritance???

[thomas.lynch at reasoningtechnology.com]

Appreciate some help in how in Python a person can add some external methods to existing classes in the presence of simple one level inheritance.  Here is an example stripped down to the shiny brass tacks:

class A:
  def __init__(self):
    self.number = 1

def A_biginc(self):
  self.number += 100

A.biginc = A_biginc
#setattr(A, 'biginc', A_biginc)
            
class B(A):
  def __init__(self):
    super().__init__()
    print("making a B")

def B_biginc(self):
  super().biginc() # super() trips up
  super().biginc()
  return self.number

B.biginc = B_biginc
#setattr(B, 'biginc', B_biginc)

def f_ut_oh():
   a = A()
   flag1 = a.number == 1
   a.biginc()
   flag2 = a.number == 108

   b = B()
   flag3 = b.number == 1
   b.biginc() 
   flag4 = b.number == 215

   if flag1 and flag2 and flag3 and flag4 :
     print("all good!") # this prints for me when I run this in 3.6
   else:
     print("hmm something went wrong..")

print("loaded try_adding_method_decorator.py")

<--------------------------------

It appears that supper() doesn't work with externally defined methods, but surely that can't be.  What is the incantation that makes this work?? Thanks!

(using setattr had the same results,  AA.biginc() said AA wasn't defined .. being a class instead of an object I guess.  Putting in another self.super() didn't work ..)
