title: Defining Python class methods using Cython
body: <p>I am trying to port some Python code to Cython, and it turns out that some of the functionality that I'm trying to port requires class methods (defined using <code>@classmethod</code> in the Python code base).</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to create Python class methods using Cython? If yes, will they follow the same scoping rules that they do in Python? Will I be able to access <code>cdef</code> methods that are defined on the instance on the class?</p>
