[issue43427] Possible error on the descriptor howto guide

2021-03-07 Thread Marcos M


New submission from Marcos M :

> To recap, functions have a __get__() method so that they can be converted to 
> a method when accessed as attributes. The non-data descriptor transforms an 
> obj.f(*args) call into f(obj, *args). Calling cls.f(*args) becomes f(*args).

I THINK it should say

cls.f(*args) becomes f(cls, *args)

as stated in the table that follows that paragraph.
