The second way is fairly similar, but instead of replacing the entire sys.modules entry, its class is updated to be the class just created -- something like sys.modules['mymod'].class = MyNewClass .

If the recent suggestion to replace the global namespace dict with the module object goes ahead, maybe it would enable using this idiom to reassign the module class:

class __class__(__class__):
   # module methods here
