Hello,

The language reference for Python 3.2 (and the development version, as well), says this in section 3.2:

~
Built-in functions

A built-in function object is a wrapper around a C function. Examples of built-in functions are len() and math.sin() (math is a standard built-in module). <...> Special read-only attributes: <...> __self__ is set to None (but see the next item) <...>.

Now I don't know whether it's a bug in Python or in the docs, but that doesn't seem to be the case:

ActivePython 3.2.2.3 (ActiveState Software Inc.) based on
Python 3.2.2 (default, Sep 8 2011, 10:55:13) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
len.__self__
<module 'builtins' (built-in)>
open.__self__
<module 'io' (built-in)>
import math
math.sin.__self__
<module 'math' (built-in)>

Thoughts?


Yep, that seems like a documentation bug. Please file an issue for it.

All the best,

Michael
