This isn't what I was suggesting - I meant something like this:
class instancemethod:
def __init__(self, wrapped):
self.wrapped = wrapped
def __get__(self, obj, objtype):
if obj is None: return self.wrapped
else: return MethodType(self.wrapped, obj)
this wouldn't be useful for functions, but would give other callables the same
functionality as functions, automatically creating the bound method object,
e.g.:
class D:
def __init__(self, obj, *args): ...
class C:
foo = instancemethod(D)
obj = C()
obj.foo(...) # D(obj, ...)
Same for other types of callables such as functools.partial objects etc.
