difference between class and static methods?

[John Salerno]

I've been reading up on them, but I don't quite understand how they 
differ in practice. I know how each is implemented, and from C# I 
already know what a static method is. But I won't assume that it's the 
same in Python. And on top of that, both the class and static methods of 
Python seem to do what a C# static method does, so I don't see the 
difference yet.

Thanks.
