How best to return a class method?

[Roy Smith]

I've got a method which returns another method:

class domPrinter:
    def getNodePrinter (self, nodeType):
	[...]
        # return domPrinter.printUnknown
	return self.__class__.printUnknown

I originally wrote it as the commented-out version, but didn't like
the idea that I've got to repeat the class name.  The version using
self.__class__ solves that problem, but it's uglier and more
complicated.

Any opinions on the best way to do this?
