Without going into the semantics of languages basically the differences are quite clear: @classmethod is a decorator that warps a function with passes the class as it's first argument. @staticmethod (much like C++/Java) is also a decorator that wraps a function but does not pass a class or instance as it's first argument. I won't go into the use-cases as I don't use static or class methods myself personally in any of my work (yet). cheers James -- -- James Mills -- -- "Problems are solved by method" -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
