Can this be done: (this example doesn't work)

class A:

self.a_lengthy_method = A.a_lengthy_method

I want to 'reuse' the same method from class A in class B, and without
introducing a common ancestor for both of them - is this possible in an
elegant, straightforward way?
This is what sub-classing is for. If it makes you feel better, call it "mixing
in" instead. You can share this method between two classes without inheritance (by
defining a free function and then ...), but using a common base class really is just the
right way to do it.
