def funccaller(func, *args, **kwargs):
     def _return_func():
         return func(*args, **kwargs)
     return _return_func

class Test1(object):
     def __init__(self, x):
         self.x = x
     def method(self, a, b, c):
         return self.x + a + b + c

t1 = Test1(42)

funccaller_result = funccaller(t1.method, 3, 4, c=5)
funccaller_result()

And this time I actually tested it, and it works! ;)
