Eli Bendersky <eliben at gmail.com> added the comment:

"[].append is a Python-level method object that wraps a C function."

What makes you think that? There's no Python implementation of .append that I know of. Neither is there a Python implementation of the Noddy.name method that is discussed in the page. Both are implemented solely in C and exposed as methods for their respective classes via the tp_methods array.

"Or the sentence could be deleted."

This could be problematic, because the document does refer to "type methods" on several occasions, and it makes sense to define what it means.
