 | New-style classes allow static methods (methods that can be called without having an instance)
class Point(object):
_counter = 0
def __init__(self, x, y):
self.x = x; self.y = y; Point._counter += 1
def ncopies(): return Point._counter
ncopies = staticmethod(ncopies)
|
| Calls:
>>> Point.ncopies() 0 >>> p = Point(0, 0) >>> p.ncopies() 1 >>> Point.ncopies() 1 |
| Cannot access self or class attributes in static methods |
