How to distinguish an instance method, a class method, a static method or a function in Python 3?

Question

I want to distinguish between methods and functions in Python 3. Furthermore, I want to get the corresponding class if it is a method. My current solution is like this:

Answer 1

You just need to get the type of the method, but since methods are descriptors, you have to :

1 - Get the class out of the instance. 2 - Look up the method reference in __dict__ instead of making an attribute lookup.

E.G :

>>> f = Foo()
>>> type(f.__class__.__dict__['bari'])

>>> type(f.__class__.__dict__['barc'])

>>> type(f.__class__.__dict__['bars'])
