This has nothing to do with boost.python.  It's how python works.  For example:

>>> class X(object):
	def __init__(self):
		self._x = 0
	def get(self):
		return self._x

	
>>> x = X()
>>> print x.get()
0
>>> print x.get
<bound method X.get of <__main__.X object at 0x02084FB0>>

And accessing 'x.get' is not in itself an error.  You may want to pass that bound method to a function expecting a callable, for instance.
