Can a method be used as either a staticmethod or instance method?

Question

I\'d like to be able to do this:

class A(object):
    @staticandinstancemethod
    def B(self=None, x, y):
        print self is None and \"static\" or \"ins

From what you're saying, is this along the line of what you're looking for? I'm not sure there is a way to do exactly what you're saying that is "built in"

class Foo(object):
    def __init__(self, a=None, b=None):
        self.a
        self.b

    def Foo(self):
        if self.a is None and self.b is None:
            form = CreationForm()
        else: 
            form = EditingForm()
        return form
