New submission from Martijn Pieters <m...@python.org>:
The implementation of method_hash, method_call and method_descr_get all still
contain assumptions that __self__ can be set to None, a holdover from Python 2
where methods could be *unbound*.
These vestiges can safely be removed, because method_new() and PyMethod_New()
both ensure that self is always non-null.
In addition, the datamodel description of methods includes this section:
When a user-defined method object is created by retrieving another method
object from a class or instance, the behaviour is the same as for a
function object, except that the :attr:`__func__` attribute of the new
instance is not the original method object but its :attr:`__func__`
attribute.
which also only applies to Python 2 unbound methods. Python 3 bound methods
never change what they are bound to, let alone produce a new method object from
__get__ that has to be careful about what __func__ is set to.
I'm submitting a PR that removes these vestiges, no need to maintain code that
never runs.
