With type() and the class's __dict__ attribute:

def bar(): pass

class Foo:
    def bar(): pass
    s_bar = staticmethod(bar)
    c_bar = classmethod(bar)

Foo.f_bar = bar

print map(type, 
    map(Foo.__dict__.__getitem__, ('bar', 's_bar', 'c_bar', 'f_bar'))
)

  You probably shouldn't want this information except in special cases where
your purpose is explicitly introspection, for debugging or a class browser
or something similar.
