Why would you want to do that? Here is a way that relies on an implementation detail of current CPython: >>> class Foo(object): ... def foo(self): pass ... def __init__(self): ... import new ... def bar(self): pass ... self.foo = new.instancemethod(bar, self) ... >>> x = Foo() >>> x.foo is x.foo True >>> del x.foo >>> x.foo is x.foo False This alternative is a little less subtle: >>> y = Foo() >>> "foo" in y.__dict__ True >>> del y.foo >>> "foo" in y.__dict__ False Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
