让我先告诉一下用@classmethod修饰的方法和@staticmethod修饰的方法之间的相似性。

相似性：它们都可以在类本身上调用，而不仅仅是类的实例。所以，在某种意义上，这两种方法都是Class的方法。

区别：类方法将接收类本身作为第一个参数，而静态方法不接收。

因此，在某种意义上，静态方法并不绑定到类本身，只是因为它可能具有相关功能而挂在那里。

>>> class Klaus:
        @classmethod
        def classmthd(*args):
            return args

        @staticmethod
        def staticmthd(*args):
            return args

# 1. Call classmethod without any arg
>>> Klaus.classmthd()  
(__main__.Klaus,)  # the class gets passed as the first argument

# 2. Call classmethod with 1 arg
>>> Klaus.classmthd('chumma')
(__main__.Klaus, 'chumma')

# 3. Call staticmethod without any arg
>>> Klaus.staticmthd()  
()

# 4. Call staticmethod with 1 arg
>>> Klaus.staticmthd('chumma')
('chumma',)

我的贡献展示了@classmethod、@staticmethod和实例方法之间的区别，包括实例如何间接调用@staticmmethod。但是，与其从实例间接调用@staticmethod，不如将其私有化可能更“Python化”。这里没有演示从私有方法获取内容，但基本上是相同的概念。

#!python3

system('cls')

class DemoClass(object):
    # instance methods need a class instance and
    # can access the instance through 'self'
    def instance_method_1(self):
        return 'called from inside the instance_method_1()'

    def instance_method_2(self):
        # an instance outside the class indirectly calls the static_method
        return self.static_method() + ' via instance_method_2()'

    # class methods don't need a class instance, they can't access the
    # instance (self) but they have access to the class itself via 'cls'
    @classmethod
    def class_method(cls):
        return 'called from inside the class_method()'

    # static methods don't have access to 'cls' or 'self', they work like
    # regular functions but belong to the class' namespace
    @staticmethod
    def static_method():
        return 'called from inside the static_method()'

从其文档中定义静态方法和类方法。以及何时使用静态方法和何时使用类方法。

静态方法类似于java和C#中的静态方法，它不会使用类的任何初始化值，只需要从外部进行操作即可。类方法：通常用于继承重写，当我们重写一个方法时，然后使用CLS实例来判断是否要调用子类或父类的方法。以防您希望同时使用同名和不同签名的方法。

静态方法（函数）->方法

Convert a function to be a static method.

A static method does not receive an implicit first argument.
To declare a static method, use this idiom:

     class C:
         @staticmethod
         def f(arg1, arg2, ...):
             ...

It can be called either on the class (e.g. C.f()) or on an instance
(e.g. C().f()).  The instance is ignored except for its class.

Static methods in Python are similar to those found in Java or C++.
For a more advanced concept, see the classmethod builtin.
"""

classmethod（函数）->方法

Convert a function to be a class method.

A class method receives the class as implicit first argument,
just like an instance method receives the instance.
To declare a class method, use this idiom:

  class C:
      @classmethod
      def f(cls, arg1, arg2, ...):
          ...

It can be called either on the class (e.g. C.f()) or on an instance
(e.g. C().f()).  The instance is ignored except for its class.
If a class method is called for a derived class, the derived class
object is passed as the implied first argument.

Class methods are different than C++ or Java static methods.
If you want those, see the staticmethod builtin.

当存在继承时，就会出现差异。

假设有两个类——父类和子类。如果要使用@staticmethod，print_name方法应该写两次，因为类的名称应该写在打印行中。

class Parent:
   _class_name = "Parent"

   @staticmethod
   def print_name():
       print(Parent._class_name)


class Child(Parent):
   _class_name = "Child"

   @staticmethod
   def print_name():
       print(Child._class_name)


Parent.print_name()
Child.print_name()

但是，对于@classmethod，不需要编写print_name方法两次。

class Parent:
    _class_name = "Parent"

    @classmethod
    def print_name(cls):
        print(cls._class_name)


class Child(Parent):
    _class_name = "Child"


Parent.print_name()
Child.print_name()

@python2.4中添加了修饰符。如果您使用的是python<2.4，则可以使用classmethod（）和staticmethod（）函数。

例如，如果您想要创建一个工厂方法（一个函数，它返回一个类的不同实现的实例，具体取决于它获得的参数），您可以执行以下操作：

class Cluster(object):

    def _is_cluster_for(cls, name):
        """
        see if this class is the cluster with this name
        this is a classmethod
        """ 
        return cls.__name__ == name
    _is_cluster_for = classmethod(_is_cluster_for)

    #static method
    def getCluster(name):
        """
        static factory method, should be in Cluster class
        returns a cluster object for the given name
        """
        for cls in Cluster.__subclasses__():
            if cls._is_cluster_for(name):
                return cls()
    getCluster = staticmethod(getCluster)

还要注意，这是一个使用类方法和静态方法的好例子，静态方法显然属于类，因为它在内部使用了类Cluster。类方法只需要关于类的信息，而不需要对象的实例。

将_is_cluster_for方法设置为类方法的另一个好处是，子类可以决定更改其实现，这可能是因为它非常通用，可以处理多种类型的集群，因此仅检查类的名称是不够的。

我认为一个更好的问题是“你什么时候会使用@classmethod vs@staticmethod？”

@classmethod允许您轻松访问与类定义关联的私有成员。这是一种很好的方法来实现单实例，或者控制所创建对象实例数量的工厂类。

@staticmethod提供了边际性能增益，但我还没有看到静态方法在类内的有效使用，而静态方法不能作为类外的独立函数实现。
