To add a new attribute with a name known only at runtime, use setattr  
<http://docs.python.org/lib/built-in-funcs.html> either on the class (will  
be a class attribute then) or any individual instance.
To create a new method, just assign a function to the class.
I'd suggest first learning a bit more about Python until you are more  
fluent with the language. (And consider the risk of executing untrusted  
code from the outside).
