I had an idea but no time to think it through.
Perhaps the under-under name mangling trick
can be replaced (in Py3.0) with a suitably designed decorator.
Your challenge is to write the decorator.
Any trick in the book (metaclasses, descriptors, etc) is fair game.

-------- how we currently localize method access with name mangling
------
class A:
def __m(self):
print 'A.__m'
def am(self):
self.__m()
class B(A):
def __m(self):
print 'B.__m'
def bm(self):
self.__m()
m = B()
m.am() # prints 'A.__m'
m.bm() # prints 'B.__m'
-------- how I would like to localize method access with a decorator
------
class A:
@localmethod
def m(self):
print 'A.m'
def am(self):
self.m()
class B(A):
@localmethod
def m(self):
print 'B.m'
def bm(self):
self.m()
m = B()
m.am() # prints 'A.m'
m.bm() # prints 'B.m'
