I think you're going to need a metaclass for this, e.g.:: >>> import inspect >>> def registered(func): ... func.registered = True ... return func ... >>> class RegisterFuncs(type): ... def __init__(cls, name, bases, classdict): ... cls.methods = [] ... for name, value in classdict.iteritems(): ... if inspect.isfunction(value): ... if hasattr(value, 'registered'): ... cls.methods.append(name) ... >>> class C(object): ... __metaclass__ = RegisterFuncs ... @registered ... def first_func(self): ... pass ... @registered ... def second_func(self): ... pass ... >>> C.methods ['first_func', 'second_func'] If you just want to store *all* method names, you can dispense with the @registered decorator and the hasattr() check.
