I meant:

>>> class A(object):
...   def do(self):
...     print self.__class__, self.__class__.__bases__
...
>>> a = A()
>>> a.do()
<class '__main__.A'> (<type 'object'>,)

What goes on behind the scenes to make a.do() evaluate the do
method with a bound to self in that method? Is this implemented
in C, Python? I think I have a grasp of how to use objects, but
I was wondering about the implementation I suppose.
