method-wrapper?

Hi,

Within Python (2.5):

help("__str__")
Help on method-wrapper object:
__str__ = class method-wrapper(object)
| Methods defined here:
|
| __call__(...)
| x.__call__(...) <==> x(...)
|
| __cmp__(...)
| x.__cmp__(y) <==> cmp(x,y)
[...]

What is "method-wrapper"? Google turns up hardly any hits, same with
searching python.org.

Thanks,
Andrew
