It seems like you should be able to do
c.__get__(None).im_func. I just tried that
and I got

Python 2.2 (#1, Jul 11 2002, 14:19:37)
[GCC 3.0.4] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> def f(x): return x
...
>>> c=classmethod(f)
>>> d = c.__get__(None)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Oops! But it would probably have worked if I had a less
buggy version of Python...
