And is it possible to have a static method (ie, a class method in C++ jargon) ?

>>> class t:
..  def t():
..   print "t.t"
>>> t.t()
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: unbound method must be called with class instance 1st argument

But the t() method does not wait for any arguments...
