I don't see the reason to do that. If you have a function that does not  
use its "self" argument, what do you get from making it an instance method?
If -for whatever strange reason- you want it to actually be a method, use  
a static method:

py> def foo(x):
...   print "I like %r" % x
...
py> class A(object): pass
...
py> a = A()
py> A.foo = staticmethod(foo)
py> a.foo()
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: foo() takes exactly 1 argument (0 given)
py> a.foo("coffee")
I like 'coffee'
py> A.foo("tea")
I like 'tea'
