oop - Calling non-static method from static one in Python

I can't find if it's possible to call a non-static method from a static one in Python.

Thanks

EDIT: Ok. And what about static from static? Can I do this:

class MyClass(object):

    @staticmethod
    def static_method_one(cmd):
    ...

    @staticmethod
    def static_method_two(cmd):
        static_method_one(cmd)
See Question&Answers more detail:os

It's perfectly possible, but not very meaningful. Ponder the following class:

class MyClass:
    # Normal method:
    def normal_method(self, data):
        print "Normal method called with instance %s and data %s" % (self, data)

    @classmethod
    def class_method(cls, data):
        print "Class method called with class %s and data %s" % (cls, data)

    @staticmethod
    def static_method(data):
        print "Static method called with data %s" % (data)

Obviously, we can call this in the expected ways:

>>> instance = MyClass()
>>> instance.normal_method("Success!")
Normal method called with instance <__main__.MyClass instance at 0xb7d26bcc> and data Success!

>>> instance.class_method("Success!")
Class method called with class __main__.MyClass and data Success!

>>> instance.static_method("Success!")
Static method called with data Success!

But also consider this:

>>> MyClass.normal_method(instance, "Success!")
Normal method called with instance <__main__.MyClass instance at 0xb7d26bcc> and data Success!

The syntax instance.normal_method() is pretty much just a "shortcut" for MyClass.normal_method(instance). That's why there is this "self" parameter in methods, to pass in self. The name self is not magical, you can call it whatever you want.

The same trick is perfectly possible from withing a static method. You can call the normal method with an instance as first parameter, like so:

    @staticmethod
    def a_cool_static_method(instance, data):
        print "Cool method called with instance %s and data %s" % (instance, data)
        MyClass.normal_method(instance, data)
        MyClass.class_method(data)
        MyClass.static_method(data)

>>> instance.a_cool_static_method(instance, "So Cool!")
Cool method called with instance <__main__.MyClass instance at 0xb7d26bcc> and data So Cool!
Normal method called with instance <__main__.MyClass instance at 0xb7d26bcc> and data So Cool!
Class method called with class __main__.MyClass and data So Cool!
Static method called with data So Cool!

So the answer is yes, you can cal non-static methods from static methods. But only if you can pass in an instance as first parameter. So you either have to generate it from inside the static method (and in that case you are probably better off with a class method) or pass it in. But if you pass in the instance, you can typically just make it a normal method.

So you can, but, it's pretty pointless.

And that then begs the question: Why do you want to?
