having a class definition:
class Test():

pass
@classmethod
def __exit__(cls, exception_type, execption_value, callback):
pass
now using this as a contextmanager does not work, even though Test is an
object and has the two required methods __enter__ and __exit__.
it fails with:
#Attribute Error: __enter__
This is not working because behind the scene it does something like:
type(Test).__enter__(Test)
But isn't this supposed to be working?
No. Unqualified 'method' means instance method, not class method.
One can simulate instance methods like so:
>>> import types
>>> def f(self): print('f called')
>>> class C: pass
>>> c = C()
>>> c.m = types.MethodType(f, c)
>>> c.m()
f called
However, this will not work for dunder methods where the lookup for the
method starts with the class and not the object itself.
>>> def h(self): return 1
>>> c.__hash__ = types.MethodType(h, c)
>>> hash(c) # calls type(c).__hash__, not c.__hash__
