Class Methods with Python 2.1

[Thomas Guettler]

Is it possible to have methods in classes
which don't take a self argument, because
they only change attributes common to all
instances of a class?

class car:
     available=["porsche", "volvo", "trabbi"]
     def __init__(self, name):
        if name not in available:
            raise "Name not in available cars"
        ....
     def add_available_car(name):
         availalble.append(name)

One solutionn is to define this method
at module level. But that's not nice.



Unfortunately I have to stick to Python2.1
