What are the best practices for extending a python module -- in this case I want to extend python-twitter by adding new methods to the base API class.

I've looked at tweepy, and I like that as well, I just find python-twitter easier to understand and extend with the functionality I want.

I have the methods written already, I'm just trying to figure out the best way to add them into the module, without changing the core.
