This is a largely outdated recipe (while it may be usefull if you have 
to write code for an old Python version).

This of course require some knowledge of Python's internals. But unless 
you have to deal with older Python versions, you don't have to care 
about this - just use:

class MyClass(object):
   @staticmethod
   def my_static_method(name):
     print name

FWIW, there's not much use for staticmethods in Python - usually, a 
plain function is what you want.
