What are static methods in Python and when to use them?
In this video we talk about static methods, basically “functions grouped in classes”.
We look at when and how to use them, namespacing + encapsulation they can provide, play with them, and show some practical examples in the wild.
We hope this helps you better understand them so next time you can more easily decide if you go with a plain function or a staticmethod in your class.
