class classA:
#saved as classA.py    
   def __init__(self):
      print "class A"
      printB()
   
   def printB():
         print "B"
>>> classA()
class A
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>

    printB()
NameError: global name 'printB' is not defined

Using the class above, I get the error saying that printB is not defined. It works when printB() is moved outside of the class. I want to have printB to be part of the class, like a static method. I tried adding "@staticmethod" above the 'def printB()' but that doesn't seem to work. Am I missing something?

Thanks for the link, I'm looking at it now.

class classA:
#saved as classA.py    
   def __init__(self):
      print "class A"
      classA.printB()
      
   @staticmethod
   def printB():
      print "B"

classA()

printB() does not rely on the instance, it would be better as a static method. This code works, but I need to do 'classA.' first. Is there any way to omit calling the class since the method is already in the class?

No, in python methods, there is no implicit argument (like C++'s this for example)

Oh, I'll just add 'self' to the method then.

Thanks for the fast reply.
