#17476: make allmethods actually return all methods.

bitdancer · bitdancer · commit 9929bc543a01 · 2013-03-19T02:31:06.000-04:00
This fixes a regression relative to Python2.  (In 2, methods on a class were
unbound methods and matched the inspect queries being done, in 3 they are just
functions and so were missed).

This is an undocumented function that pydoc itself does not use, but
I found that numpy at least uses it in its documentation generator.

Original patch by Matt Bachmann.
