Hi,
Within Python (2.5):

Help on method-wrapper object:
__str__ = class method-wrapper(object)
| Methods defined here:

| __call__(...)

What is "method-wrapper"? Google turns up hardly any hits, same with
searching python.org.
After looking at the code in descrobject.c, I *think* a method-wrapper is
used to create a Python object out of internal methods (stored as C
function pointers in the type structure), as if they were actual Python
methods.
That is, they wrap an internal function pointer (defined in the type)
along with a Python object ("self"), so it can be used in Python code as
it were a normal instance method. But certainly I can be wrong...
