You do not seem to be using the latest CVS, Pyste uses staticmethod to 
declare static member functions:

struct C
{
    static int foo() { return 0; }
};

// Module 
======================================================================
BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(test)
{
    class_< C >("C", init<  >())
        .def(init< const C & >())
        .def("foo", &C::foo)
        .staticmethod("foo")
    ;

}

If you are not using the latest CVS, then I might be misunderstanding 
the problem, but I *stronly* suggest that you use the latest CVS from 
both Boost.Python and Pyste... Pyste specifically has had lots of bug 
fixes and some new features since the 1.30.0 release of Boost. ;)

I considered it too, but I thought that "no_override" was more clear. 
What you guys think?
