Anomaly in creating class methods

[venk]

Cool,
         i got it now... accessing thru attribute reference always
returns a bound or unbound method... so, D.f is an unbound method
whereas i want the "function" of the unbound method... ok,.... this
example and the nice explanations definitively thought me about
function, bound method (for which the function is just an attribute
accessed by im_func) and unbound method...
  Also, calling classmethod on an unbound method instead of a function
is a strict no... no...
  ok... nice concept...

But, i am at loss when i come to clearly understanding the difference
between new-style classes and classic classes.... (or should i post it
as new topic?).....
