I think you might not understand what Chris said.

Currently this does *not* work with Python 2.7 as you suggested it would.

>>> op = map(A.fun,l)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: unbound method fun() must be called with A instance as
first argument (got int instance instead)

This, however, does:

>>> op = map(A(3).fun,l)
>>> op
[1, 3, 9, 27, 81, 243, 729, 2187, 6561, 19683]


Chris might have also been confused because once you fix that it works
in Python 3.

You will find that
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1816958/cant-pickle-type-instancemethod-when-using-pythons-multiprocessing-pool-ma
explains the problem in more detail than I understand. I suggest
reading it and relaying further questions back to us. Or use Python 3
;).
