staticmethod, which is in newer Pythons.

>>> class Date:
...    def __init__(self, year, month, day):
...       self.year = year
...       self.month = month
...       self.day = day
...    def my_birthday():
...       return Date(1970, 8, 22)
...    my_birthday = staticmethod(my_birthday)
...
>>> d = Date.my_birthday()
>>> d.year
1970
>>>
