Don't confuse the use of "static" in Python with its use in C/C++. From a post on StackOverflow:A staticmethod is a method that knows nothing about the class or instance it was called on. It just gets the arguments that were passed, no implicit first argument. It is basically useless in Python -- you can just use a module function instead of a staticmethod.
For there record, staticmethod is useful when you want to make it possible for subclasses to change behavior. -- ~Ethan~ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
