Class methods on user types

[Heiko Wundram]

Hi all!

I've written a user type, and I've declared class methods on it. Now...
Strange things are'a happening, and the class methods which are declared on
the type get the following output from pydoc:

| bin = <built-in method bin of type object>
<actual doc>
| fac = <built-in method fac of type object>
<actual doc>
etc...

The methods are declared in the PyMethodDef array of the class with the
following syntax:

{"bin", (PyCFunction)GMPi_bin,
METH_CLASS | METH_VARARGS | METH_KEYWORDS,
GMPi_bin_doc},

{"fac", (PyCFunction)GMPi_fac,
METH_CLASS | METH_VARARGS | METH_KEYWORDS,
GMPi_fac_doc},

etc.

If I've understood the documentation correctly, this should create the
appropriate class methods on the type. But why are they being attributed to
type? Is it something I've done wrong in the declaration, or is this just the
way it works?

Any info appreciated!

puzzeldly-y'rs,

Heiko.
