Factoty methods, for getting objects created earlier and no longer needed, 
yet expensive to create e.g. database connection pooling.
Sure, you can place this elsewhere(module level or other objects).
Interresting:
You CAN have class methods:
def bert:
        print "Bert"
class.method = bert
class.method()
"Bert"

... but no language support to create them as easy as instance methods
