Question

I want to have a class with dynamic methods.

From these arrays:

prefix = ['android','iphone','blackberry'] 
method = ['AddToPush','DelFromPush','GetPushMessages']

I want to create a class like:

class MobileManager(object)

    def __init__(self):
        self.mobileLib = MobileLib()

    def androidAddToPush(self, args):
        self.mobileLib.AddToPush(args, 'android')

    def iphoneAddToPush(self, args):
        self.mobileLib.AddToPush(args, 'iphone')    

    def blackberryAddToPush(self, args):
        self.mobileLib.AddToPush(args, 'blackberry') 

   [...]

How can I have these methods generated/created at runtime?

If your set of prefixes/methods is defined at init time, you can try something like this:

class MobileManager(object):
    def __init__(self):
        for prefix_name in prefix:
            for method_name in method:
                func = lambda self, args: getattr(self.mobileLib, method_name)(args, prefix)
                full_method_name = "%s%s" % (prefix, method_name)
                setattr(self, full_method_name, func)
        ...

If your dynamic methods get more complicated, the lambda will soon be limited, though.
