The main reason I could think of was to create a factory 
method for dynamically creating classes based on input 
parameters - for example currency convertors or similar.
Equally you could change method implementations 
by passing lambdas etc.

Useful in certain other languages but much less so in 
Python which allows dynamic changes to classes/objects 
after creation anyway.
