Static methods in Python?

Question

Is it possible to have static methods in Python which I could call without initializing a class, like:

ClassName.static_method()

Answer 1

So, static methods are the methods which can be called without creating the object of a class. For Example :-

    @staticmethod
    def add(a, b):
        return a + b

b = A.add(12,12)
print b

In the above example method add is called by the class name A not the object name.
