If wish they could! The problem is that a class variable can NOT refer
a function object, only an unbound method object. When a reference to
a function object is stored in a class variable, it is instatly
transformed into an unbound method (or so it seems).

Sorry, I wasn't being clear enough. This is what I want to do:

>>> Test.class_attribute = some_func
>>> another_func = Test.class_attribute
>>> another_func == some_func  # here's the problem :(
0

So I wan't to store function references into class variables and
retrieve them unchanged.
