Well, nomenclature aside, I think what the poster meant was that in Python,
you can do this:
class Cool:
def f():
print "hello"
c = Cool()
f = c.f
f()
This is, behind the scenes, captured by Python as a true object, not just
a pointer. Once having gotten used to this and then gone back to using
other languages upon occasion, the lack of my ability to do this in these
other languages is a very big annoyance.
