Interesting objection! However I'll probably implement the solution 
using __get__(None, cls) to get the method from the dictionary. It 
doesn't really add complexity and the additional overhead is 
insignificant in my use case. There will be only one client connected at 
a time and not much communication. The time the server will need to 
process the packet data will be disproportionally larger than the time 
to read the header and choose the handler method.
