I don't think you should be using staticmethod in this case since you are relying on information in the class itself. This really looks like it should be a classmethod. Granted, the example you gave can be a staticmethod, but it sounds like you want to incorporate some of the information in the class. (Aside: I really can't think of any reason to use staticmethods in Python other than to organize functions into namespaces, and even then, that's what modules are for, right?) I think you need to show a better example of what it is you are trying to do. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
