class Parser:
     def _handle_bool(input):
         # ...
         pass

     types = {'bool': _handle_bool,
              'boolean': _handle_bool,}

     def parse(self, line):
         t,s,v = line.partition(':')
         handler = types[t]
         return handler(v)

I want a utility function that really behaves just like a function. I'd 
prefer to nest it inside the class that uses it, to make the code easier 
to understand. Since I don't want the implicit self-binding either, I 
would use staticmethod to make this clear, too.

Since I can live without any of this, it's not a big issue. What is to 
me a big issue though is the fact that Python behaves unexpectedly and 
reading Steven's response and the link there, it seems I'm not alone.

Greetings!
