How to dynamically create module level functions from methods in a class

I am trying to dynamically create module level functions from the methods in a class. So for every method in a class, I want to create a function with the same name which creates an instance of the class and then calls the method.

The reason I want to do this is so I can take an object-oriented approach to creating Fabric files. Since Fabric will call module level functions but not methods of a class, this is my work-around.

I have used the following links to get me started

• How do I get list of methods in a Python class?
• dynamically adding functions to a Python module
• How do I call setattr() on the current module?
• The Python getattr Function
• Calling a function of a module by using its name (a string)
• How to modify the local namespace in python

And I have come up with the following code

import inspect
import sys
import types

class TestClass(object):
    def __init__(self):
        pass

    def method1(self, arg1):
        print 'method 1 %s' % arg1

    def method2(self):
        print 'method 2'

def fabric_class_to_function_magic(module_name):
    # get the module as an object
    print module_name
    module_obj = sys.modules[module_name]
    print dir(module_obj)

    # Iterate over the methods of the class
