As a slight aside, you _can_ assign to the method name:

object.method = variable     #object.method is now whatever variable was

I'm not aware of any valid reason to do this, that is to say I don't know of
anything that you could do this way that you couldn't do another more
readable/maintainable way.

But I could be wrong!
