adding a new @classmethod to an existing class

I have a python programming issue which I have not solved.

In python3, using 'from opencadd.structure.core import Structure'

defines the class Structure. The section of the Structure code that I need to modify is

@classmethod
@redo.retriable(attempts=10, sleeptime=2)
def from_pdbid(cls, pdbid):
    import mmtf

    return cls(mmtf.fetch(pdbid))

where I would like to include

# New method for CIF files
@classmethod
def from_cif(cls, filepath: str):
    """
    Create a Structure object from a local CIF file.
    """
    parser = MMCIFParser()
    structure_data = parser.get_structure("cif_file", filepath)
    # ... (processing to build Volkamer Structure object)
    return cls(atoms, residues, bonds)

This will skip trying to execute mmtf.fetch (which will timeout because pdb is no longer available for mmtf.fetch).
Instead using Structure.from_cif will avoid this issue and retrieve the file.

So far, I have not been able to do this successfully. Many blogs offer suggestions about adding a classmethod,
but I have failed and am asking for help from python exports.

Thanks in advance,

首先确认此请求是否属于 python-guide：payload 针对的是 opencadd.structure.core.Structure，而不是 guide 文件。如果属于范围内，请阅读 Structure.from_pdbid 和指定的 mmtf/MMCIFParser 入口点；只有在有一种已定义且经过测试的方式可以从本地 CIF 文件构造 Structure 对象时，才算完成。
