Hi,

The io module provides an open() function. It also provides an
OpenWrapper which only exists to be able to store open as a method
(class or instance method). In the _pyio module, pure Python
implementation of the io module, OpenWrapper is implemented as:

class OpenWrapper:
    """Wrapper for builtins.open

    Trick so that open won't become a bound method when stored
    as a class variable (as dbm.dumb does).

    See initstdio() in Python/pylifecycle.c.
    """
    def __new__(cls, *args, **kwargs):
        return open(*args, **kwargs)

I would like to remove this class which is causing troubles in the PEP
597 implementation, but I don't know how. Simplified problem:
---
def func():
    print("my func")

class MyClass:
    method = func

func() # A
MyClass.method() # B
obj = MyClass()
obj.method() # C
---

With this syntax, A and B work, but C fails with TypeError: func()
takes 0 positional arguments but 1 was given.

If I decorate func() with @staticmethod, B and C work, but A fails
with TypeError: 'staticmethod' object is not callable.

Is OpenWrapper the only way to have a callable object which works in
the 3 variants A, B and C?

A, B and C work if MyClass is modified to use staticmethod:

class MyClass:
    method = staticmethod(func)
