Thanks for the answers, very helpful. I think I'm going to give
Peter's hack a try, as it's actually quite close to what I'm trying to
do -- I get the source for the new function, then that lets me make the
old function become the new one. But I'll probably also use Michael's
solution for class

Can you cheat and just assign another known good func_code object?

Generate your function as a string. Be careful to
indent correctly and append \n at line's end. Then
execute the string with exec(name_of_string). Then
edit your string as necessary, and execute again.
An example follows, directly from one of my projects:

The func_code attributes of functions is writable, but I don't know how
to create the proper code object. Just compiling a new body isn't good
enough.
Did you directly compile the body or compile a function and then
