I think so, at least in the "I can implement that idea" sense, although
not the "why would you need such a strange animal" sense. Since "class"
is an executable statement in Python, this ought to do it:
allow = ["foo", "bar"]
class A:
if "foo" in allow:
def foo( ):
...
if "bar" in allow:
def bar( ):
...

Consider yourself not asked.
