Oh well. This is a serious usability issue -- but what can you do?
I think that argument clinic knows if the built-in function is supposed to be a method or a function. It doesn't look too hard to add a new flag METH_IS_METHOD or something, which would be taken in consideration in the common cases, and which can be added manually OR used automatically by argument clinic. This would not be a 100% solution out of the box, but if the new wording is right, it shouldn't be a problem.
But can you do the same thing with pure-python methods? After all, this thread started with trying ot unify what error folks get regardless of how the method was written. -CHB -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception Chris.Barker@noaa.gov
