In Python, you can override a method of an instance just by assigning it
to another function, like this -

class Test1:
   def f1(self):
      return "f1() of Test1"

def f1():
   return "f1() of instance"

T1 = Test1()
T1.f1 = f1

Running this within the Python interpreter, try the following -

>>> T1.f1()
'f1() of instance'

Is this what you had in mind?
