But you might consider decorating the method as a static method instead since in your example you are not using the parameter at all. A static method would not require a parameter.@staticmethod def print_hello(): print "hello"
Functions that refer to neither the class nor an instance thereof can usually be moved outside the class altogether. Python is not Java. I believe staticmethod() was mainly added because it is needed for .__new__(), at least in some appearances.
