The documentation of instance methods confused me, it classifies methods into two types:the one is retrieved by an instance of a class, the other is created by retrieving a method from a class or instance. According to the description, >When an instance method object is created by retrieving a class method >object from a class or instance, its __self__ attribute is the class >itself, and its __func__ attribute is the function object underlying the >class method. the __self__ attribute of the more complex methods is a class. How does this happen? Is this description incorrect?

The documentation of instance methods confused me, it classifies methods into two types:the one is retrieved by an instance of a class, the other is created by retrieving a method from a class or instance.

According to the description,

>When an instance method object is created by retrieving a class method >object from a class or instance, its __self__ attribute is the class >itself, and its __func__ attribute is the function object underlying the >class method.

the  __self__ attribute of the more complex methods is a class. How does this happen? Is this description incorrect?
