Are you unaware that this is the way it works already?

>>> class Foo(object):
... def bar(self, baz):
... print baz
...
>>> foo = Foo()
>>> Foo.bar("spam")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: unbound method bar() must be called with Foo instance as first argument (got str instance instead)
>>> Foo.bar(foo, "spam")
spam
>>> foo.bar("spam")
spam

The latter two statements are equivalent. The 'instance.method(args)'
syntax is just sugar for 'Class.method(instance, args)'.
