Try to combine classmethod and property: >>> class A: ... @classmethod ... @property ... def name(cls): ... return cls.__name__ ... >>> A.name 'A' And as you said, classmethod supersedes staticmethod. The only strong use case for staticmethod that I know is to make a Python function a class attribute without making it a method. And for static property there is no even such use case. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/NPK27SMWNK3V7KG36C2GHO7GB4I7OKNX/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
