A question about funcation parameter and self defined object

[Wei Guo]

Hi Chris,

Thanks a lot for reply, you are right. I want to use this method as a static
method as:

translation = staticmethod( translation )

I think that here the built in function pass None. So we can not pass any
self defined object for static method?

Best regards,

Wei
