static method in Python

Question

I use static method in Python, like this:

class A(object):
 @staticmethod
 def sfun():
 print "this is statice method"
class AA(A):
 @staticmethod
 def sfun():
 print "this is statice method"

And I want to get type of class (A or AA) in sfun. How can I do it?

Answer 1

You can't. But if you use classmethod instead then the class will be passed as the first argument to the method.

class A(object):
 @classmethod
 def cfun(cls):
 print 'I am in %r' % (cls,)
class AA(A):
 pass
