You could always monkeypatch builtins.buildclass to add an attribute to every "unbound method" pointing to the class. I would not reccomend that. buildclass is very internal and it's contract may change between versions.

Right, not to mention the fact that there's no way a library can ensure it monkeypatches that before the users of the library have created any classes.

cheers,

Chris
