I have some places in pyparsing where I've found that the most
straightforward way to adjust an instance's behavior is to change its class.
I do this by assigning to self.__class__, and things all work fine.
(Converting to use of __new__ is not an option - in one case, the change is
temporary
) assigning to self.__class__, (snip)
!-)
Any comments on this practice?
It can be very confusing for newbies and peoples having no experience
with *dynamic* languages, and I guess control-freaks and
static-typing-addicts would runaway screaming. But I like it anyway !-)

It's certainly not a fortuitous accident.
And even the (printed) cookbook has examples which assign to
self.__class__... I guess this means this feature
