Instance methods make the most sense. A static method makes sense too
*but* I can see how a class method not only does what a static method
does but how a class method *also* gets the cls reference for free.
I don't understand the last part - but I certainly agree on the "instance
methods make the most sense". But *if* you want a hierarchy
of "sensefulness",
method > classmethod > staticmethod
Sorry I quoted this earlier and meant to respond to it. What I meant
was, might as well use a class method over a static method AND in
doing so, cls is free.
cf Georges Sakkis point about this. 'cls is free' ? Well, not
necessarily. Your function must take the class as first argument, and so
you just can't use just any plain function as a classmethod.
