In updating Numeric to take advantage of the new features in Python, I've come across the need
to attach a Python-written function as a method to a C-builtin. I don't want to inherit, I just want to extend the methods of a builtin type using a Python function. I was thinking of updating the new type objects dictionary with a new entry that is a descriptor object.
It seems that the descriptor mechanism makes this a relatively straightforward thing. My question is, can I use the already-available Descriptor objects to do this, or will I need to define another Descriptor object. (Perhaps a PythonMethod descriptor object to complement the Method Descriptor).
Any hints will be helpful.
