No, you can't. The reason is that python doesn't have an assignment
operator as e.g. C++ has. The "=" just binds the name A to some object -
without the object knowing it.
What's wrong with
class A:
def clear():
pass
...
A.clear()
? Alternatively, you could try and abuse one of the seldom used in-place
operator like __ior__:
A |= 0
But I wouldn't recommend that.
