Hi,
I want to access a static variable in a staticmethod. The variable can
be redefined by derived classes and that should be reflected in base's
staticmethod. Consider this trivial example-
class Base:
staticvar = 'Base'
@staticmethod
def printname():
# this doesn't work
# print staticvar
# this does work but derived classes wouldn't behave as I want
print Base.staticvar
class Derived(Base):
staticvar = 'Derived'
Base.printname() # should print 'Base'
Derived.printname() # should print 'Derived'
Any idea on how to go about this? Also from a staticmethod how can I
find out other attributes of the class (not objects)? Do static methods
get some classinfo via some implicit argument(s)?
Thanks in advance,
Ram
