The main way I like to do it is start with a basic class object,
assign some basic attributes like __name__ and __doc__, and
dynamically attach additional members to it with setattr.

Here’s a partial example, taken from <https://gitlab.com/ldo/dbussy>.
Note the heavy use of lexical binding:

    class proxy(BusPeer.Object.ProxyInterface) :
        # class that will be constructed, to be instantiated for a given connection,
        # destination and path.

        # class field _iface_name contains interface name.
        __slots__ = ("_parent", "_conn", "_dest", "_path", "_timeout")

        def __init__(self, *, parent, connection, dest, path, timeout = DBUS.TIMEOUT_USE_DEFAULT) :
            if is_async :
                assert connection.loop != None, "no event loop to attach coroutines to"
            #end if
            self._parent = parent
            self._conn = connection
            self._dest = dest
            self._path = path
            self._timeout = timeout
        #end __init__

        # rest filled in dynamically below.

    #end proxy

    def def_method(intr_method) :
        # constructs a method-call method.

        if is_async :

            async def call_method(self, *args, **kwargs) :
                message = dbus.Message.new_method_call \
                  (
                    destination = self._dest,
                    path = dbus.unsplit_path(self._path),
                    iface = self._iface_name,
                    method = intr_method.name
                  )
                _append_args(message, intr_method, args, kwargs)
                if intr_method.expect_reply :
                    reply = await self._conn.send_await_reply(message, self._timeout)
                    result = reply.expect_return_objects(intr_method.out_signature)
                else :
                    message.no_reply = True
                    self._conn.send(message)
                    result = None
                #end if
                return \
                    result
            #end call_method

        else :

            def call_method(self, *args, **kwargs) :
                message = dbus.Message.new_method_call \
                  (
                    destination = self._dest,

                if intr_method.expect_reply :
                    reply = self._conn.send_with_reply_and_block(message, self._timeout)
                    result = reply.expect_return_objects(intr_method.out_signature)
                else :
                    message.no_reply = True
                    self._conn.send(message)
                    result = None
                #end if
                return \
                    result

                    "result" :

                        )[len(intr_method.out_signature) != 0](),
                }
            )
        setattr(proxy, intr_method.name, call_method)
    #end def_method
