Could somebody give me a snippet of code, where two classes that exist in different files, with one is calling a user defined static method of the other.

All I can find on the internet is examples where they only work with the static method being called with in the class file. I cannot call that method from another class.

Thanks

This is my predicament

Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. class Object1:
  2.  
  3. 	@staticmethod
  4. 	def printDamnIT():
  5. 		print 'PRINT DAMN IT!' # You can see I'm getting very frustrated

Within another file

Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. import sys
  2. sys.path.append('C:\')
  3. import Object1
  4.  
  5. Object1.printDamnIT()
  6.  

Error that I am getting :-

ATTRIBUTEERROR: 'module' object has no attribute 'printDamnIT'

The way you are importing to need to use
Object1.Object1.printDamnIT()
to give the namespace too.
