Say I have a class and an object of it.
In Python, you can update the behavior of an object's method by re-assigning the method to a new function. This is possible because methods in Python are just attributes of an object that happen to be functions. Here's an example of how you can do this:
class MyClass:
def my_method(self):
print("Original behavior")
# create an instance of the class
obj = MyClass()
# call the original method
obj.my_method() # Original behavior
and I want to update its method:
# update the method with a new function
def new_behavior(self):
print("New behavior")
obj.my_method = new_behavior
# call the updated method
obj.my_method() # New behavior
This gives me an error:
TypeError: new_behavior() missing 1 required positional argument: 'self'
Is this the correct way to update an object's method? How should I do it?
