You're probably looking at the newfangled @decorator syntax.
Things were a lot clearer when decorators were called explicitly:
class foo(object):
def bar(self):
...
bar = classmethod(bar)
That makes it a lot more obvious that classmethod is simply a
higher-order function (that is, it takes a function as an argument and
returns a function).
It is equivalent to the newer:
class foo(object):
@classmethod
def bar(self):
...
