I know I'm coming late to the discussion, but the most natural way for
me would be to simulate the function via a callable object:
class hidden(object):
def __init__(self):
self.static_var = 0
def __call__(self):
self.static_var+=1
return self.static_var
fun_with_state = hidden()
>>> fun_with_state()
1
>>> fun_with_state()
2
>>> fun_with_state()
3
>>> fun_with_state()
4
