No, I don't think this is the intention (bound vs. unbound). I think the distinction is between special methods recognized by Python, and "plain object methods" defined by the user. Not sure how to express this clearly in the docs though. Re PEP-7 cleanup: done some for extending/newtypes.html - not sure everything is fixed but it's a bit better now. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12672> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
