Bug #117241, was updated on 2000-Oct-18 15:28
Here is a current snapshot of the bug.
Project: Python
Category: Parser/Compiler
Status: Open
Resolution: None
Bug Group: None
Priority: 7
Summary: class.method(*([self]+args)) gave me a 'unbound method must be called with class instance 1st argument" error message.
Details: I have some 1.5 code like this:
apply(BaseMsgTemplate.__call__,[self]+args)
This works great and does what I want, calls the base class call method
with the current instance as self. I thought I'd convert it to the
new calling syntax:
BaseMsgTemplate.__call__(*([self]+args))
But this gave me the error message:
'unbound method must be called with class instance 1st argument'
I *think* the * argument method is supposed to be functionally
equivalent to apply, so I think this is a bug.

Comment:
Definitely a bug! A simpler example would be Base.__init__(*(self, arg)).
