@staticmethods called more than once

[Skip Montanaro]

Don't confuse the use of "static" in Python with its use in C/C++.  From a
post on StackOverflow:

A staticmethod is a method that knows nothing about the class or instance
> it was called on. It just gets the arguments that were passed, no implicit
> first argument. It is basically useless in Python -- you can just use a
> module function instead of a staticmethod.


That is, the "@staticmethod" decorator doesn't mean, "call this function
once."
