A reasonably hacktastic way of doing this is monkey-patching. For
instance, say you want to override the __unicode__ method of the class
Blog. Firstly, write the new method e.g.
def new_unicode(self):
return self._name
Then, set the __unicode__ method of Blog to your new function:
Blog.__unicode__ = new_unicode
Is this a horrible piece of code? Absolutely. But it is quick, and it
works. A clean solution depends more on why you actually want to do
this.
