Accessing an object via a `dict` does not change its type, nor does putting it into a `dict`. Thus, you did not put `DuidLLT._parse_l2addr` (of type `method`) into your `_attrs` `dict` but something else (of type `classmethod`). This narrows down the space for your investigation: why was the object you have put into `_attr` was not what you have expected. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
