Good night, I have not yet found any use for this feature.
Also, I do not really understand the difference with @classmethod, from the programmer's points of view (even if I get the difference on the python side). As I see it, a classmethod is a very ordinary method, except its 'owner' is a type. [But we cannnot express its definition with standard syntax, because it conflicts with instance method definition syntax.]
I would be pleased to read your views about staticmethods, and the use cases you have for them -- that could not be done (the same way) with classmethods.
Thank you, Denis _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
