Python: possible to call static method from within class without qualifying the name

Question

This is annoying:

class MyClass:
    @staticmethod
    def foo():
        print \"hi\"

    @staticmethod
    def bar():
        MyClass.foo()

Answer 1

You 'variable-ize' the class name. This will not remove, but shorten the name.

class MyClass:
    @staticmethod
    def foo():
        print "hi"

    @staticmethod
    def bar():
        c.foo()

c = MyClass
