      Tag: descr-branch
	test_descr.py 
Log Message:
There's a subtlety in type_getattr() that makes me feel the pain of
not having metaclasses -- or actually, the mistake of using
FooClass.barMethod to reference the unbound barMethod method of
FooClass instances (where Smalltalk puts the methods in
FooClass.methodDict).  To fix this, I added query functions to
determine whether a descriptor describes a method or data, and I use
this to implement the following priority rules when accessing the bar
attribute of type FooType:

1) methods in FooType.__dict__, unadorned
2) anything in FooType.__class__.__dict__, used as a descriptor
3) anything else in FooType.__dict__, unadorned

This means that if both have a __repr__, FooType.__repr__ is the
unbound __repr__ method for Foo objects, but FooType.__class__ is the
class (or type) of FooType, which is (usually) TypeType.

If you're confused by this, don't worry.  This is on a branch. :-)
