Others have already explained the details how functions become bound methods, but I would just point out that it is an instance of a piece of very general functionality: the descriptor protocol. https://docs.python.org/3.6/howto/descriptor.html With this, you can create your own objects which do some arbitrary special thing when accesses on an instance.
