""" test_4 = """ Static methods and class methods The new introspection API makes it possible to add static methods and class methods. Static methods are easy to describe: they behave pretty much like static methods in C++ or Java. Here's an example: >>> class C: ... ... @staticmethod ... def foo(x, y): ... print "staticmethod", x, y >>> C.foo(1, 2) staticmethod 1 2 >>> c = C() >>> c.foo(1, 2) staticmethod 1 2 Class methods use a similar pattern to declare methods that receive an implicit first argument that is the *class* for which they are invoked. >>> class C: ... @classmethod ... def foo(cls, y): ... print "classmethod", cls, y >>> C.foo(1) classmethod test.test_descrtut.C 1 >>> c = C() >>> c.foo(1) classmethod test.test_descrtut.C 1 >>> class D(C): ... pass >>> D.foo(1) classmethod test.test_descrtut.D 1 >>> d = D() >>> d.foo(1) classmethod test.test_descrtut.D 1 This prints "classmethod __main__.D 1" both times; in other words, the class passed as the first argument of foo() is the class involved in the call, not the class involved in the definition of foo(). But notice this: >>> class E(C): ... @classmethod ... def foo(cls, y): # override C.foo ... print "E.foo() called" ... C.foo(y) >>> E.foo(1) E.foo() called classmethod test.test_descrtut.C 1 >>> e = E() >>> e.foo(1) E.foo() called classmethod test.test_descrtut.C 1 In this example, the call to C.foo() from E.foo() will see class C as its first argument, not class E. This is to be expected, since the call specifies the class C. But it stresses the difference between these class methods and methods defined in metaclasses (where an upcall to a metamethod would pass the target class as an explicit first argument).
