Ah, yes, a type can be coded in such a way that you simply can't
reassign the __class__ of its instances, and apparently gtk.Button is
coded that way.
If you're keen on __class__ reassigning, you'll have to wrap such
classes before instance creation time, e.g.:
class weirdGtkButton(gtk.Button): pass
and use
b = weirdGtkButton("the label")
to generate the instances. That, of course, assumes that gtk.Button
isn't ALSO coded in ways that impede subclassing (as for all I know it
might be -- I don't have GTK around to check), in which case instead of
subclassing it you need a trickier wrap-and-hold approach (and you can
never pass isinstance checks, which subclassing would let you pass).
