Thanks a lot!
It's not working, you can't assign to something eval'ed. There are various options here, including metaclasses, but I think the simplest is to write a simple function: def decorate_methods(subclass): for name in dir(subclass): thing = getattr(subclass, name) if isinstance(thing, types.MethodType): setattr(subclass, name, myDecorator(thing)) # maybe myDecorator(thing.im_func) is better here Simply invoke that function with "Mine" - or use a metaclass to do that implicitly.
