Tutorial version:

Online, Current
Release 2.4
30 November 2004

Bug:
In section 9.3.4 Method Objects, the second code
example reads:
=========
xf = x.f
while True:
    print xf()
=========

There should be parentheses after x.f

Suggested new version:
=========
xf = x.f()
while True:
    print xf()
=========

Why do you think so? The documentation is correct as-is; the
whole point of the paragraph is that the parentheses are
omitted in the assignment to xf.

Oops, how stupid of me.
