After the call, the temporary instance is discarded. The __init__ method is invoked for the constructor call BoundMethod(method1, aninstance). It simply saves away its arguments.

The differences in stability and feature set of the IDEs on Windows and Linux was also an issue. As a result, we looked at other options, including Python. At the time of our investigation, Python had reached version 2.5, and a what we felt was a credible level of maturity. While not a "main-stream" choice, Python was attractive because of its cross-platform abilities and the producti...
