"Pure" OO Python documentation?

Hi all,

Is there documentation for OO Python that takes a high-level computer 
science sort of approach?

I ask because the problem I see with the docs for many new/OO features:

* mix implementation details along with the feature descriptions, and
* are typically aimed at programmers migrating code from Python 1.x, or 
accustomed to programming with 1.x features.

I'm thinking, for example, of the PEPs, or things I've generally seen 
people pointed to when they ask about a new feature like properties. 
The one document I've found so far that's along the lines of what I need 
(as a programmer learning the language better) is:

http://userpages.umbc.edu/~glong/notes/python/notes11.html

But this is fairly casually written, and doesn't cover everything (like 
staticmethod).  Anyhow, if what I'm looking for doesn't exist, I'll 
probably get started writing it myself... :-)

Thanks,
Robb
