So true, the solution is to define an __init__ class in the brain class,
then use that to populate "self".

class   PackageEvent:
    """Package Event Pluggable Brain"""
    def __init__(self):
        """initialize"""
        self.__dict__['eday'] = self.eventday()

    def eventday(self):
        return
        DateTime(apply(time.mktime,self.eventtime.tuple()[:3]+(0,0,0,0,0,-1
        )))


Now 'first-eday' works.
