I want to add methods (more specifically: method aliases) automatically to Python subclasses. If the subclass defines a method named 'get' I want to add a method alias 'GET' to the dictionary of the subclass.

To not repeat myself I'd like to define this modifation routine in the base class. But if I check in the base class init method, there is no such method, since it is defined in the subclass. It will become more clear with some source code:

class Base:

    def __init__(self):
        if hasattr(self, "get"):
            setattr(self, "GET", self.get)


class Sub(Base):

    def get():
        pass


print(dir(Sub))

Output:

['__doc__', '__init__', '__module__', 'get']

It should also contain 'GET'.

Is there a way to do it within the base class?
