Here's a patch that gets rid of unbound methods, as discussed here before. A function's __get__ method now returns the function unchanged when called without an instance, instead of returning an unbound method object. I couldn't remove support for unbound methods completely, since they were used by the built-in exceptions. (We can get rid of that use once we convert to new-style exceptions.) For backward compatibility, functions now have read-only im_self and im_func attributes; im_self is always None, im_func is always the function itself. (These should issue warnings, but I haven't added that yet.) The test suite passes. (I have only tried "make test" on a Linux box.) What do people think? (My main motivation for this, as stated before, is that it adds complexity without much benefit.) -- --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
