    def __init__(self,start=[]):
        self.data=start
    def __add__(self,other):
        return addv(self.data, other)

>>> addv
<class __console__.addv at 10486e0>
>>> x=addv.add
>>> x
<unbound method addv.add>
>>> x(3,4)
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<pyshell#4>", line 1, in ?
    x(3,4)
TypeError: unbound method must be called with class instance 1st argument
