I'm curious about this. What do you mean? Python 3 has unbound methods, 
they're just the original, unwrapped function:

py> class K:
...     def method(self, arg):
...             pass
...
py> K.method
<function K.method at 0xb7cbd6a4>

The only(?) functional difference between unbound methods in Python 2 
versus 3 is that in Python 2 they automatically do a type-check that 
`self` is an instance of the class.
