Preferred idion for adding instance methods

[Dave Benjamin]

I just noticed that the "new" module is deprecated in Python 2.3. Since the
old way of adding a method to a particular instance (not its class) was to
use new.instancemet hod, I am guessing that we are now supposed to use
types.MethodTyp e. Is this the preferred idiom for adding an instance method?

import new
import types

class Test(object):
def __init__(self, x):
self.x = x

t = Test(42)

def print_x(self):
print self.x

# The old way.
#t.print_x = new.instancemet hod(print_x, t, Test)

# The new way?
t.print_x = types.MethodTyp e(print_x, t, Test)

t.print_x()

Thanks,
Dave
