No, not at all. So called 'static methods' are class function attibutes that are marked to *not* be given neither the method wrapping treatment nor the first-arg binding treatment when accessed, but to be left as they are. To me, this means that they are not methods but just functions. >>> class C: ... def f(): pass ... def g(): pass ... g = staticmethod(g) ... >>> C.f <unbound method C.f> >>> C.g <function g at 0x00888978> Terry J.
