Given an instance method, is it possible to easily determine what class 
it is defined in?

I thought the im_class attribute might do it, but it apparently just 
points to self.__class__.

>>> class Foo(object):
...     def foo(self):
...             pass
...
>>> class Bar(Foo):
...     def bar(self):
...             pass
... 
>>> Bar().bar.im_class  # expecting Bar
<class '__main__.Bar'>
>>> Bar().foo.im_class  # hoping for Foo
<class '__main__.Bar'>
