If you want it to be callable you can subclass:

>>> class static(staticmethod):
...     def __call__(self, *args, **kw):
...             return self.__get__(object)(*args, **kw)
... 
>>> class A(object):
...     @static
...     def f(x="yadda"): print x
...     f()
... 
yadda
>>> A.f()
yadda
>>> A().f()
yadda
