After reading your post, I think I have worked out where our disagreement
lines: you think that bound methods and instance methods are not the same
thing,
Do you agree that an unbound method and a bound method are different? In
Python, as indicated by the glossary entry, an unspecified 'method' is
usually meant to be an unbound method. It is am important distinction
and I do not see why you insist on confusing the two.
and that a function defined inside a class is different from a
function outside of a class.
That, and your repetition of the same claim further on, is a insulting lie.
Def statements always create functions. I have known that for 14 years
since the first day I started with Python. I have never thought
differently. If you actually think that I have, you are wrong.
What I have said from my first response is that a function that is an
attribute of a class, *whether defined in or outside the class*, gets
special treatment when accessed via an instance of the class. And that
is the truth.
If you are ever interested in learning anything from me on this subject,
re=read what I already wrote with a more open mind than you have so far.
Otherwise, I am done.
