New submission from Yonatan Goldschmidt <yon.goldschm...@gmail.com>:
In Doc/howto/descriptor.rst:
# Internally, the bound method stores the underlying function,
# the bound instance, and the class of the bound instance.
>>> d.f.__func__
<function D.f at 0x1012e5ae8>
>>> d.f.__self__
<__main__.D object at 0x1012e1f98>
>>> d.f.__class__
<class 'method'>
The bound method (PyMethodObject) does not store "the class of the bound
instance" - it only stores the "function" and "self".
d.f.__class__ is the class of the "method" type itself, not the class of d.f's
instance (D from d = D())
I think this mention should be removed from the documentation?
