Has comparison of instancemethods changed between python 2.5 and 2.4?

that's not an instance method, though:

 >>> o = object()
 >>> type(o.__str__)
<type 'method-wrapper'>

using a real instance method, I get the same result under both versions:

 >>> class foo(object):
...     def bar(self):
...             pass
...
 >>> f = foo()
 >>> type(f.bar)
<type 'instancemethod'>
 >>> f.bar == f.bar
True
