I am reading a book where the author says that:
In principle, it would also be possible to implement any @staticmethod

function should be a module scope function or a static method. The
@staticmethod decorator merely facilitates a particular organisation of the
code allowing us to place what could otherwise be free functions within classes.
I didn’t get quiet well this block of text. My first question is how would I
make a module level function as static method of a class. Can anyone give me an
example of this? What are the contexts that would let you to think if they are
good fit inside the class or module level scope functions?
The addition of @staticmethod was unnecessary in that it did not enable
any new functionality. I think beginners should just ignore it.
