Documentation in Tutorial section 9.3.3 seems to be stuck in Python 2: "In Python, the term method is not unique to class instances: other object types can have methods as well. For example, list objects have methods called append, insert, remove, sort, and so on." In Python 3 built-in types are derived from Object, so list is now a class, right? |

I think the current wording is fine. After the type/class unification we tend to use the words "type" and "class" almost interchangeably. For builtins, we still tend to say type though.
The language itself tends to mix the terms as well:
>>> class A:
pass
>>> type(A)
<class 'type'>
>>> type(list)
<class 'type'>
