Am I missing an subtelty of bound/unbound-ness?

As of 2.2, C.hello.im_self == None while c.hello.im_self == c.

Presume still same in 2.3. This is very much an implementation internal feature and not part of language definition. (Meaning: can be changed without notice.) I believe this is how repr() tells difference.

This sort of question is better asked on comp.lang.python. It is about usage of current python rather than development of future python.
