classmethod(function) -> method
Convert a function to be a class method.
A class method receives the class as implicit first argument, just like an instance method receives the instance. To declare a class method, use this idiom:
class C: def f(cls, arg1, arg2, ...): ... f = classmethod(f)
It can be called either on the class (e.g. C.f()) or on an instance (e.g. C().f()). The instance is ignored except for its class. If a class method is called for a derived class, the derived class object is passed as the implied first argument.
Class methods are different than C++ or Java static methods. If you want those, see the staticmethod builtin.
