I would tend to do this by creating a wrapper method for the instance
that did the appropriate stuff for the instance, and then called the
classmethod, e.g.:
class C(object):
...
@classmethod
def do_stuff(cls, *args):
...
def do_instance_stuff(self, *args):
# instance stuff
...
self.do_stuff(*args)
# more instance stuff
...
But it does require some factoring of the classmethod so that it makes
sense to call it in this manner.
