New submission from Géry <gery.o...@gmail.com>:
With the current Python equivalent `ClassMethod` implementation of
`classmethod` given in Raymond Hettinger's _Descriptor HowTo Guide_, the
following code snippet:
```
class A:
@ClassMethod
def f(cls, *, x): pass
print(A.f)
A.f(x=3)
```
prints:
> <function ClassMethod.\_\_get\_\_.<locals>.newfunc at 0x106b76268>
and raises:
> TypeError: newfunc() got an unexpected keyword argument 'x'
instead of only printing:
> <bound method A.f of <class '\_\_main\_\_.A'>>
like the `@classmethod` decorator would do.
So the `ClassMethod` implementation fails in two regards:
* it does not return a bound method to a class;
* it does not handle keyword-only arguments.
With this PR `ClassMethod` will correctly emulate `classmethod`. This approach
(`types.MethodType`) is already used in the Python equivalent `Function`
implementation of functions given earlier in the same guide.
