[issue4331] Can't use _functools.partial() created function as method

[Jack Diederich]

I'm having some trouble wrapping my head around this one.  It isn't obvious to me that
my_method(*args):
  print(args)
class A():
  meth = partial(my_method, 'argA')
ob = A()
ob.meth('argB')

should print (<A object at 0x1234>, 'argA', 'argB') and not
('argA', <A object at 0x1234>, 'argB')

The patch seems to prefer the first form but if you are using a partial shouldn't you expect 'argA' to always be the first argument to the partial-ized function?
