Lorien,

I think I may have hit on an ugly way to avoid the problem you're having:

MyPythonClass.__dict__["__init__"](self)

This appears to avoid turning the __init__ function into an unbound method.

>>> class X:
...     def __init__(self):
...             self.__doc__ = "hello world"
...
>>> def f(): print "hi"
...
>>> f.__doc__
>>> X.__init__
<unbound method X.__init__>
>>> X.__dict__["__init__"]
<function __init__ at 007DCDA4>
>>> X.__dict__["__init__"](f)
>>> f.__doc__
'hello world'

Regards,
Dave
