They dont behave exactly the same, but Ive not seen a good summary of
what differences those people believe to be a problem. Does anyone
have a pointer?   I can see many differences, but none I would class
as a problem.

(On the other hand, Im not adverse to using bytecodehacks in my
straight python projects too. Perhaps Im just working with a broader
definition of 'method')
