.. opcode:: LOAD_METHOD (namei)
Loads a method named ``co_names[namei]`` from TOS object. TOS is popped and
method and TOS are pushed when interpreter can call unbound method directly.
TOS will be used as the first argument (``self``) by :opcode:`CALL_METHOD`.
Otherwise, ``NULL`` and method is pushed (method is bound method or
something else).
Loads a method named ``co_names[namei]`` from the TOS object. TOS is popped.
This bytecode distinguishes two cases: if TOS has a method with the correct
name, the bytecode pushes the unbound method and TOS. TOS will be used as
the first argument (``self``) by :opcode:`CALL_METHOD` when calling the
unbound method. Otherwise, ``NULL`` and the object return by the attribute
lookup are pushed.
.. versionadded:: 3.7
.. opcode:: CALL_METHOD (argc)
Calls a method. *argc* is number of positional arguments.
Calls a method. *argc* is the number of positional arguments.
Keyword arguments are not supported. This opcode is designed to be used
with :opcode:`LOAD_METHOD`. Positional arguments are on top of the stack.
Below them, two items described in :opcode:`LOAD_METHOD` on the stack.
All of them are popped and return value is pushed.
Below them, the two items described in :opcode:`LOAD_METHOD` are on the
stack (either ``self`` and an unbound method object or ``NULL`` and an
arbitrary callable). All of them are popped and the return value is pushed.
