    The method functions must all have as a first argument an object
    holding the instance data. There must also be a function that
    returns a new instance of the class, the constructor.

    Your subclass must define
    _module - The module where the method functions, including the
    constructor can be found
    _new_instance - The name of a function that serves as a constructor,
    returning the instance data.

    To access the instance data, use the read-only property instance.

    To add some functions from _module as methods, call classmethods like
    add_method and add_methods_with_prefix.
