Functions' namespaces are writeble ,methods' not.

 >>> class C:
...   def m(self):pass
...   @classmethod
...   def cm(cls):pass
...   @staticmethod
...   def sm():pass
...
 >>> C.sm.set=None
 >>> C.cm.set=None
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: 'instancemethod' object has no attribute 'set'
##### instancemethod? C.cm is a classmethod

 >>> C.m.set=None
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: 'instancemethod' object has no attribute 'set'
#####
 >>>

Are these choices explained somewhere?

Isn't 'do more use of namespaces' a python zen-law?
