Bound methods are created dynamically on lookup, while object ids may be reused after the original object is destroyed.
There's no bug here - just a combination of those two language behaviours that is frequently surprising to users that have just noticed it.
There's not a lot we can do about that - it's a genuinely surprising moment in people's understanding of the way methods (and descriptors in general) work. |
