[Python-Dev] lament for the demise of unbound methods

Hi All,

In Python 2, I can figure out whether I have a method or a function, 
and, more importantly, for an unbound method, I can figure out what 
class the method belongs to:

 >>> class MyClass(object):
...   def method(self): pass
...
 >>> MyClass.method
<unbound method MyClass.method>
 >>> MyClass.method.im_class
<class '__main__.MyClass'>

There doesn't appear to be any way in Python 3 to do this, which is a 
little surprising and frustrating...

What am I missing here?

Chris
