Python: possible to call static method from within class without qualifying the name
There is no way to use foo
and get what you want. There is no implicit class scope, so foo
is either a local or a global, neither of which you want.
You might find classmethods more useful:
class MyClass:
@classmethod
def foo(cls):
print "hi"
@classmethod
def bar(cls):
cls.foo()
This way, at least you don't have to repeat the name of the class.
