a method of a class is unbound until a class instance is made then it become bound to the instance

hmm well maybe that isn't quite correct
http://docs.python.org/2.7/library/stdtypes.html#methods
h http://docs.python.org/2.7/reference/datamodel.html#the-standard-type-hierarchy - then scroll down to user-defined methods
