Instances of a class have no means of storing the bound method object. The or unbound bound method is a simple and small wrapper that keeps a reference to the class, "self" and the function object. Python keeps a pool of empty method objects in a free list. The creation of a new bound method just takes a few pointer assignments and three INCREFs.
