When it is referenced via the class. If you lookup in class.__dict__, the function is still a function. >>> class C(object): ... def meth(self): pass ... >>> C.__dict__['meth'] <function meth at 0x0090B018> >>> C.meth <unbound method C.meth> >>> C().meth <bound method C.meth of <__main__.C object at 0x008E4688>> I am not sure, without looking, how much of this is language definition and how much CPython implementation, but I think mostly the latter, as long as the inheritance tree lookup behavior is as specified.
