Maybe 'static' would be used for something totally different, like to tell
the interpreter that dynamism is not needed in a certain context.

def static f(): pass
f.attribute = 1 # Error: 'f' declared immutable by keyword 'static'.

Not that that's necessarily a good idea, but don't confuse the word "static"
with a specific feature in another language.
