We were talking past each other. A method object is not a function
object. You're talking about a function defined in a class that's
accessed as a method of an instance of the class. In the class, that's
just a function object; it's exactly a function, not merely
fundamentally the same thing as one. It's only when accessed as an
attribute of an instance of the type that the function's descriptor
__get__() method is called to bind it and the instance to a method
object that sets the instance as its __self__ and the function as its
__func__.
