You can't. The first line is a syntax error. And the following:

class C: pass
def bert(): print "Bert"
C.method = bert
C.method()

produces an error (unbound method must be called with class instance
1st argument).

I proposed a language change which allows class methods in a thread
titled "An alternative approach to bound methods" two weeks ago.
With this proposal the above would work, as well as putting the
function definition directly in the class.
