What is the proper term for the methods defined inside of a Python class before the class is instantiated?

If you're referring specifically to the f returned by MyClass. F then f is an unbound method of MyClass. Or at least that's what the REPL calls it: MyClass.F.

If you're referring specifically to the f returned by MyClass. F, then f is an unbound method of MyClass. Or at least that's what the REPL calls it: >>> MyClass.

F In general though, I don't think anyone would fault you for simply calling it a "method", plain and simple. Or, in terms of its relation to MyClass, a method of MyClass.

Or maybe a "MyClass method" -- in any case, people say "string method" or "list method" all the time. – senderle Apr 22 at 4:27.

I'd say it's an instance method(or member function), because this method is only accessible when you bind it with an instance. Instance.f() or MyClass. F(instance).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
