- Pointers to static methods in Python 3 answers
While it's fairly simple to monkeypatch instance methods to classes, e.g.
class A(object):
pass
def a(self):
print "a"
A.a = a
doing this with another class's @staticmethod
à la
class B(object):
@staticmethod
def b():
print "static b"
A.b = B.b
results in A.b()
yielding a
TypeError
: unbound methodb()
must be called withA
instance as first argument (got nothing instead)
