Is it possible to delete a method from an object (not class) in python?

Question

I have a class with a few methods, some of which are only valid when the object is in a particular state. I would like to have the methods simply not be bound to the objects

Answer 1

You can't delete a class method from an instance of that class because the instance doesn't have that method. The protocol is: if o is an instance of class Foo, and I call o.bar(), first o is examined to see if it has a method named bar. If it doesn't, then Foo is examined. The methods aren't bound to the instance unless they override its class.

I don't see any good that can come from the road that you're going down here, either.
