I had heard of this concept in another language (C++? Smalltalk?)
Probably C++ or Java. Smalltalk doesn't have static methods, only a form of class method. IMO, static methods are a kludge only needed in languages that make classes do double duty as modules, and also can't have class methods because classes aren't first-class objects. I've never felt the need for one in Python. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/TQCMUPLEWZJO3YGVRPE4ECMHAKC32DEK/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
