I use staticmethods as a convenience to put related functions in the namespace of a class. Perhaps foo.py contains class Foo with staticmethod bar(). In client code I can say from foo import Foo Foo.bar() If bar was a module method it would be from foo import Foo, bar bar() I prefer the former in cases where bar is related to Foo.
