classmethod vs. staticmethod

"""

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/136097/what-is-the-difference-between-staticmethod-and-classmethod-in-python

To decide whether to use @staticmethod or @classmethod you have to look inside your method. 

If your method access other var/method in your class then Use @classmethod. 

On the other hand if your method does not touched any other parts of the class then 

use @staticmethod.

# Decorators; CLASS and STATIC Methods

"""

- A class method takes the class (not instance) as argument and works with the class object

- A static method requires no argument and does not work with the class or instance (but it still belongs in the class code)

- A decorator is a processor that modifier a function

- @classmethod and @staticmethod modify the default binding that instance methods provide
