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 >>> MyClass.method.imclass <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?

You could always monkeypatch builtins.build_class to add an attribute to every "unbound method" pointing to the class.
