But I still don't know what the *purpose* of this is, i.e. what actual 
problem you're trying to solve, and without that I can't propose a 
better solution.

What you're asking for is not especially easy to do. I guess you could 
iterate over the methods of B, obtain UnboundMethod objects, and bind 
them to A. But I've never come across any situation where I've needed 
(or wanted) to do this.
