Sorry Arnaud, I probably didn't made it clear enough : I do know it is a staticmethod object. What I say is that 1/ it's special-cased since you don't *explicitely* declare it as a staticmethod 2/ it behaves just like a classmethod, since it takes the class as first argument. IOW, I'm talking about semantic, not implementation. > -- > Arnaud -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
