[Python-ideas] Re: Curious : Why staticmethod if classmethods can do everything a static method can?

[William Pickard]

staticmethod is generally used if you don't want an automatically bound 
'self'/'cls' parameter when invoking a method on the type.
classmethod just changes WHICH object is used as the "self" parameter.
