Calling static method in python

Question

I have a class Person and a static method in that class called call_person:

class Person:
    def call_person():
        print \"he         


        

Answer 1

In python 3.x, you can declare a static method as following:

class Person:
    def call_person():
        print "hello person"

but the method with first parameter as self will be treated as a class method:

def call_person(self):
    print "hello person"

In python 2.x, you must use a @staticmethod before the static method:

class Person:
    @staticmethod
    def call_person():
        print "hello person"

and you can also declare static method as:

class Person:
    @staticmethod
    def call_person(self):
        print "hello person"
