 boost::python generates Python signatures, but these include a useless
 (and confusing) arg1 arguments for the class's self. I don't believe that
 python documentation should generally show this because people know that
 they are class methods.

 For example:

 I'm using boost::python 1.40 in Ubuntu Karmic. I can't find any list of
 what's changed since then.
