Adding classes to modules at runtime from outside that module

[frambooz]

Hey guys,

In Python, is it possible to add classes to a module at run-time?

Say I have a module foo and a module bar. Foo has class A and B, and
bar has class C. I want to add class C to foo so I can access it as
foo.C, but i want to do it without modifying foo's source.

Is this at all possible?

Thanks much.

Yes.

You would do something like

import foo
import bar

foo.C = bar.C

Yes.

You would do something like

import foo
import bar

foo.C = bar.C

Wow. That was a lot easier than expected. Thanks, all.
