Build the list outside the class: MyClass.method_list = [MyClass.bar]
Thanks, that is a solution. But I don't really like to put the list
outside the class as it is strongly related to the class and not used
outside.

What piece of your code requires this list? Perhaps we can redesign
that to be rid of it.
Actually in my code it's not a list but a dictionary. The class is part
of a network server and handles incomming packets. It reads the header
of the packet and determines the packet type. The dictionary has the
packet type as key and the method to handle the packet of the
corresponding type as value. So the dictionary is used to look up the
correct method to process the packet.
With this I try to avoid a lot of "if...elif..." statements and make it
easy to expand the network protocol by just adding a new handle method
and put it in the dictionary.
