I have some methods that I need (would like) to define outside of the

functions as class methods) I would rather not do this.  Can someone
show me how to do this?  Is it even possible?  Can decorators be used
here?

Do you mean something like this ?

@classmethod
def foo(cls):
     print "I am the foo classmethod on %r" % cls

class Foo(object):
     pass

Foo.foo = foo

Slightly better:

def foo(cls):
    # Do something

class Foo(object):
    pass

Foo.foo = classmethod(foo)

This way the unbound foo is callable as well.

Cheers,
Ian
