Methods are just functions, and you can call any method of any class with any object as its first parameter. object.__repr__(some_object) Though this mightn't work with everything. I wasn't able to paint a list as a tuple - "tuple.__repr__([1,2,3])" threw a TypeError. Oh well. There's a limit to the ways Python lets you shoot yourself in the foot.
