You're right, there are some objects you can't do it with though
strings and dictionaries come to mind.

You can do it smoother too. (I admit the ruby way is more explicit).

class Foo:
    pass

aFoo = Foo()

def aMethodToBecomeFoosSoon(self, arg):
    print self, arg


Foo.method = aMethodToBecomeFoosSoon

aFoo.method('aNiceString')
