Fix Python – Static methods – How to call a method from another method?

by

Question

Asked By – Pablo

When I have regular methods for calling another method in a class, I have to do this

class test:
    def __init__(self):
        pass
    def dosomething(self):
        print "do something"
        self.dosomethingelse()
    def dosomethingelse(self):
        print "do something else"

but when I have static methods I can’t write

self.dosomethingelse()

because there is no instance. What do I have to do in Python for calling an static method from another static method of the same class?

Now we will see solution for issue: Static methods – How to call a method from another method?

Answer

class.method should work. 

class SomeClass:
  @classmethod
  def some_class_method(cls):
    pass

  @staticmethod
  def some_static_method():
    pass

SomeClass.some_class_method()
SomeClass.some_static_method()
