Python: check if method is static

Question

assume following class definition:

class A:
  def f(self):
    return \'this is f\'

  @staticmethod
  def g():
    return \'this is g\'

a = A() 
         


        

Answer 1

Lets experiment a bit:

>>> import types
>>> class A:
...   def f(self):
...     return 'this is f'
...   @staticmethod
...   def g():
...     return 'this is g'
...
>>> a = A()
>>> a.f
>
>>> a.g

>>> isinstance(a.g, types.FunctionType)
True
>>> isinstance(a.f, types.FunctionType)
False

So it looks like you can use types.FunctionType to distinguish static methods.
