Chaning instance methods

[G. David Kuhlman]

Is this what you are looking for?

---------

# testchangemethod.py:

class Test:
	def m(self):
		pass
	def m1(self):
		print 'I am Test.m1'
	def m2(self):
		print 'I am Test.m2'

---------

>>> from testchangemethod import Test
>>>
>>> t = Test()
>>> Test.m = Test.m1
>>> t.m()
I am Test.m1
>>> Test.m = Test.m2
>>> t.m()
I am Test.m2

--------

I don't understand this too well myself.  However, note that if you
evaluate 'type(Test.m1)' you get something different from what you
get if your evaluate 'type(f)' where f is a function (not a method).
