But I'm more worried about losing the other information in an unbound method, specifically imclass. I would guess that info is useful to class browsers and such, or are there other ways to get at that?

That would be my worry too. OTOH, we have function attributes now, so why couldn't we just stuff the class on the function's im_class attribute? Who'd be the wiser? (Could the same be done for im_self and im_func for backwards compatibility?)

quack-quack-ly y'rs, -Barry
