Are these really all our options? All of them sound like hacks, none of

If assignment to the __class__ of a module were permitted
(by whatever means) then you could put this in a module:
class __class__(types.ModuleType):
...
which makes it look almost like a deliberate language
feature. :-)
Seriously, of the options presented, I think that allowing
__class__ assignment is the most elegant, since it solves
a lot of problems in one go without introducing any new
features -- just removing a restriction that prevents an
existing language mechanism from working in this case.
