Isn't it simply a class method? If so, just use the decorator
"classmethod":

class Klass:

    # This is called a decorator
    @classmethod
    def klass_method(self, foo, bar):
        # Ignore self
        return (42 + len(foo) + len(bar))


if __name__ == '__main__':
    # No object (no instance of Klass) created
    print Klass.klass_method("isc", "bind")
