No, not really. The _methods_ list is processed when the class is created,
later changes to _methods_ have no effect. The processing occurrs in
_cominterface_meta._make_methods_, in comtypes\__init__.py line 608.
In principle, you could extract code from that function and change the generated
COM method, but I wouldn't recommend that.
Can't you modify the generated file and be done? Must it be regenerated
more than once?

Another approach would be that you write a new implementation of the
ReadPacket function, and assign that to the class before you are using it,
like so:
import comtypes.gen.MyLib as MyLib
def MyReadPacket(self, ...):
....
MyLib.Channel.ReadPacket = MyReadPacket
Would that work?
