Decorators
One thing to remember is that:
class SomeClass(object):
@decorator
def something(self):
print "Did something"
is the same as:
class SomeClass(object):
def something(self):
print "Did something"
something = decorator(something)
The first version is just a bit easier to read.
Instance methods
These are the regular methods you see all the time in Python code:
class SomeClass(object):
def __init__(self, name):
self.name = name
def say_hello(self):
print "Hello", self.name
Here, both __init__ and say_hello are /instance/ methods. By
convention, an instance method’s first argument is called self,
but Python does not enforce this. Anyone else who looks at your code,
will, though.
Class methods
class SomeClass(object):
@classmethod
Static methods
class SomeClass(object):
@staticmethod
def say_hello(name):
print "Hello", name
Because the say_hello method is decorated with staticmethod,
it is pulled
