Static methods : Use staticmethod(f) to make method f(x) static (unbound). Class methods: like a static but takes the Class as 1st argument => Use f = classmethod(f) to make method f(theClass, x) a class method. The decorators @staticmethod and @classmethod replace more elegantly the equivalent declarations f = staticmethod(f) and f = classmethod(f).
