What I should have said, is from inside Csound instruments _using_ Python
opcodes.

In an external Python module you would define classes and functions that you
would use for generating your functions. Then in your instr definition you
would invoke those classes and functions. Possibly, you could pass the
Csound instance to your functions so that they would have access to the
function tables through the API.
