Well, in an early version of Python it was as simple as I'd like ot to be again: the instancemethod type was only used for bound methods (hence the name) and C.f would return same the function object as C.__dict__["f"]. Apart from backwards compatibility with all the code that has grown cruft to deal with the fact that C.f is not a function object, I still see no reason why the current state of affairs is better. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
