The first thing on my mind when I see a classmethod is that I may need a
metaclass here.
class A(object):
@classmethod
def do_something_with_aclass(cls):
pass
@classmethod
def do_something_diffferent_with_aclass(cls):
pass
def do_something(self):
pass
is similar to:
class M(type):
def do_something_with_aclass(cls):
pass
def do_something_diffferent_with_aclass(cls):
pass
class A:
__metaclass__ = M
def do_something(self):
pass
