Hi, Let's say you have a bunch of instatiated objects of the same class on your hands and you want to had some functionality to them.
I'm facing this situation while working with PyGTK and libglade to create a GUI. Libglade creates a whole object tree representing the GUI out of an XML file, and a bunch of GtkComboBox objects are instantiated. I don't like the way GtkComboBox objects works, so I'd like them to have some extra methods. Inheriting and extending GtkComboBox is pointless because I'm not the one instantiating the class. I only came up with three possibilities: A) Adding my methods to the objects in a for-loop B) Adding my methods to the GtkComboBox class (I tried this and it seems to work) C) Create a GtkComboBoxExtended class inheriting from GtkComboBox and change the instances' class in a for-loop. I'm kind of inclined to C. B sounds dangerous and A is plain ugly. I'm very new to this and I'm sure there is a well-established pythonic way to solve this problem, so I'm appealing for your vast collective wisdom to point me in the path of righteousness.
