Inheritance would be the more "software engineering politically correct
scholastic" way of doing this.
However, this is how you accomplish this the way you describe.
def hello():
print "hello world"
def hello_vars(*args):
print " ".join(a for a in args)
class A(object):
pass
class B(object):
def __init__(self):
self.usethis = hello_vars
>>>myobj = A()
>>>myobj.say_hello = hello
>>>myobj.print_args = hello_vars
>>>myobj.say_hello()
hello world
>>>myobj.hello_vars("hi", "from", "python")
hi from python
>>>anewobj = B()
>>>anewobj.usethis("hi", "from", "B")
hi from B
