Yeah, but this of course is because before descriptors only Python functions were special-cased as methods, and there was known code that depended on this. I'm sure there's even more code that depends on this today (because there is just more code, period :-). Maybe we could offer a decorator that adds a __get__ to a PyCFunction though. -- --Guido van Rossum (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
