Ulrich Eckhardt added the comment: Just for the record, the behaviour is documented, unfortunately in the very last line of the functools documentation: "Also, partial objects defined in classes behave like static methods and do not transform into bound methods during instance attribute look-up."
Concerning how exactly they should behave during that lookup, I'd use the least surprising variant, namely that they are not treated differently from other functions: The first parameter is implicitly "self". ---------- nosy: +eckhardt _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4331> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
