@ -386,12 +386,11 @@ general, calling a method with a list of *n* arguments is equivalent to calling
the corresponding function with an argument list that is created by inserting
the method's instance object before the first argument.
If you still don't understand how methods work, a look at the implementation can
perhaps clarify matters. When a non-data attribute of an instance is
referenced, the instance's class is searched. If the name denotes a valid class
attribute that is a function object, a method object is created by packing
(pointers to) the instance object and the function object just found together in
an abstract object: this is the method object. When the method object is called
In general, methods work as follows. When a non-data attribute
of an instance is referenced, the instance's class is searched.
If the name denotes a valid class attribute that is a function object,
references to both the instance object and the function object
are packed into a method object. When the method object is called
with an argument list, a new argument list is constructed from the instance
object and the argument list, and the function object is called with this new
argument list.
