and add this below:
def initFoo():
  import baz
  Foo.baz = baz.Baz()
initFoo()

No changes in bar.py, baz.py
Instead of initFoo, you could use a custom metaclass. Or a class decorator (if 
and when they become available...)
The code above is an effective way of doing what you want. But I'd think about 
the actual need of doing such things - are you sure it's a good design?
