Thomas Kluyver added the comment: I agree that the docs for inspect.ismethod() for Python 2 are wrong. The docs say: "Return true if the object is a bound method written in Python." However, it also returns True for an unbound method:

...

...

class A: ... def meth(self): ... pass ... A.meth <unbound method A.meth> import inspect inspect.ismethod(A.meth) True
