functions implement the descriptor protocol so when looked up as class 
attributes, the lookup invoke their __get__ method, which in turn 
returns a method object (which is a thin wrapper around the function, 
the class and the instance).

You can either build the method manually (as Georges explained), or make 
your own Obj class a proper descriptor:

from types import MethodType

class Obj(object):
      __name__ = "Obj" # for Method.__repr_

     def __call__(self, obj_self):
         print 'Obj'

     def __get__(self, instance, cls):
         return MethodType(self, instance, cls)
