[New-bugs-announce] [issue43427] Possible error on the descriptor howto guide

[Marcos M]

New submission from Marcos M <marcosmodenesi at gmail.com>:

> To recap, functions have a __get__() method so that they can be converted to a method when accessed as attributes. The non-data descriptor transforms an obj.f(*args) call into f(obj, *args). Calling cls.f(*args) becomes f(*args).

I THINK it should say

cls.f(*args) becomes f(cls, *args)

as stated in the table that follows that paragraph.
