Can't we do some kind of callable check? There may be some weird decorators that won't work, but they aren't likely to be useful in this context.

Another possible solution:

class Color:

red = 1
white = 2
blue = 3
orange = 4

class __methods__:
   def wave(self, n=1):
     for _ in range(n):
        print('Waving', self)

and have the metaclass pull the functions out of the methods sub-object.
