Apparently, then, not a method, but a function.

Functions don't normally have any special "self"
parameter, yet you seem to be using one in your
my_own function.  Apart from that, this seems OK:
if your my_own function works OK, there is no
problem with you re-binding the attribute named
'manage_addSomething' in module 'module' so that
it refers to my_own rather than to whatever it
used to refer-to previously.
