When I create an instance of a class, are the class's functions *copied* to create the methods? Or are method calls actually calls of the class's functions?
I am sure this is both obvious and FAQ, but I did not find a clear answer (e.g. here http://docs.python.org/tut/node11.html#SECTION0011340000000000000000 , a lot turns on the meaning of 'equivalent'.) Thank you, Alan Isaac -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
