“unbound method”的含义在 Python2 和 Python3 中是否已经改变

以下是通过 inspect 库获取类内方法的两端代码：

Python2

>>> class A(object): ... def a(self): ... print('a') ... ... @staticmethod ... def b(): ... print('b') ... ... @classmethod ... def c(cls): ... print('c') ... >>> import inspect >>> inspect.getmembers(A, inspect.ismethod) [('a', <unbound method A.a>), ('c', <bound method type.c of <class '__main__.A'>>)] 

Python3

>>> class A(object): ... def a(self): ... print('a') ... ... @staticmethod ... def b(): ... print('b') ... ... @classmethod ... def c(cls): ... print('c') ... >>> import inspect >>> inspect.getmembers(A, inspect.ismethod) [('c', <bound method A.c of <class '__main__.A'>>)] 

可以看到对于类而言，实例方法在 Python3 中已经不再是method，而是function。

>>> inspect.getmembers(A, inspect.isfunction) [('a', <function A.a at 0x10d46e598>), ('b', <function A.b at 0x10d46e620>)] 

通过查阅两个版本的 inspect 文档可以看到在Python2中：

inspect.ismethod(object)

Return true if the object is a bound or unbound method written in Python.

相对于在Python3中：

inspect.ismethod(object)

Return true if the object is a bound method written in Python.

ismethod不在包含 unbound method 了。

这是否是 Python2 到 Python3 后的通识区别？可惜这么重要的区别并没有被大多数的 “ Differences between Python2 and Python3 ” 之类的文章提到。
