R. David Murray added the comment:

Given a choice between catering for Python programmers and catering for 
Java/C++ programmers, the Python docs obviously ought to chose to cater to 
Python programmers.  To a python programmer, calling C.f() is intuitive.

I would myself definitely *not* encourage the __class__.f() idiom.

Maybe we should just drop the reference to Java and C++ static methods.
