How about:
    >>> class foo:
    ...     def __init__(self,x):
    ...         self.x = x
    ... 
    >>> class bar:
    ...     def foo(self):
    ...         global foo
    ...         return foo(self)
    ... 
    >>> bar().foo()
    <__main__.foo instance at 0x8110364>
    >>> _.x
    <__main__.bar instance at 0x810f914>
