1.6.8   How do I create static class data and static
class methods?
...
Static methods are possible when you're using new-style
classes:

class C:
    def static(arg1, arg2, arg3):
        # No 'self' parameter!
        ...
    static = staticmethod(static)

- Shouldn't it look like class C(object)?
- it would be nice to mention decorators here

Did you try it out? It works. The comment "new-style
classes" is misleading - what it really should say is that
you need a Python version that has staticmethod.

Andrew, this is your text: would you like to correct it?
