Extension methods in Python

Question

Does Python have extension methods like C#? Is it possible to call a method like:

MyRandomMethod()

on existing types like int?

Answer 1

not sure if that what you're asking but you can extend existing types and then call whatever you like on the new thing:

class  int(int):
     def random_method(self):
           return 4                     # guaranteed to be random
v = int(5)                              # you'll have to instantiate all you variables like this
v.random_method()

class int(int):
    def xkcd(self):
        import antigravity
        print(42)

>>>v.xkcd()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
    v.xkcd()
AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'xkcd'
c = int(1)
>>> c.random_method()
4
>>> c.xkcd()
42

hope that clarifies your question
