I've got a whole lot of methods I want to add to my Channel class, all

having to do the for loop outside of the main class definition feels
kludgey. Am I missing some cleaner answer? I thought about just
checking for all of it in __getattr__, but that's hacky too and doesn't
docstring nicely. Python 3.4
If I understand correctly:
- you are creating one class (not several similar classes)
- this class has several very similar functions
- you (understandably!) don't want to write out these very
similar functions one at a time
If that is all correct, then, as Random suggested, move that loop into
the class body and use locals() [1] to update the class dictionary.
Just make sure and delete any temporary variables.
Your other option is to put the code in a class decorator.

Yes, returning the class namespace is a language gaurantee.
