I like Kent's "try" method to explicitly look for the "staticmethod" call - it is Pythony :-)
Todd's graceful handling idea is a good one - will keep that for future use. Christian's input about my kludge failing with the 3.x series is a good catch, I didn't think about that. Thanks to all of you for the other observations.
