Look at the 'new' module. If you want to do it from C, then take 
a look at newmodule.c to see how it's done. 


>>> import new
>>> print new.__doc__
Functions to create new objects used by the interpreter.

You need to know a great deal about the interpreter to use this!
>>> dir(new)
['__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', 'classobj', 'code', 'function', 
'instance',
'instancemethod', 'module']
>>> print new.code.__doc__
Create a code object from (ARGCOUNT, NLOCALS, STACKSIZE, FLAGS, 
CODESTRING, CONSTANTS, NAMES, VARNAMES, FILENAME, NAME, FIRSTLINENO, LNOTAB).
