I can't see a way of doing that directly, but you could cheat by putting 
the "class variables" in a global dictionary?  And perhaps referencing 
that global from a class variable?  Something like:

my_class_registry = {}

class MyClass(...):
     MyClassRegistry = my_class_registry

     @register(my_class_registry)
     def MyFunction(...):
         ...

Or you may be able to achieve what you want with dir() and some careful 
naming?
