The best way to find out is to try it:
#######################################
class Foo(object):
def hello(self):
return "Foo::hello"
f1 = Foo()
print f1.hello()
Foo.hello = lambda self: "new hello!"
print f1.hello()
#######################################
From what I see of this evidence, "method calls [are] actually
calls of the class's functions", not copied.
