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

While I agree that this is the wrong solution, my way to "remove" a method would be to overwrite the function with a property that raises an AttributeError. This way hasattr gives the correct result, but it is not as much hassle as using dir.
