If a class Child inherits from Parent, how to implement Child.some_method if Parent.some_method() returns Parent instance ?

You are already using one standard way to implement an alternative
constructor.

If you don't need any instance attributes you can use another way:

class Egg(object):
    @classmethod
    def spam(cls):
        return cls(...)
