Self-less classes: it's now possible to define methods with no self argument. The methods may be invoked even with no instance of the class being created:

...

...

class foo: ... def add(a,b): ... return a+b ... add = staticmethod(add) ...

...

...

foo.add(3,4) 7 g = foo() g.add(1,2) 3

Yes, I've been reading the PEPs -- obviously. E.g.: http://python.sourceforge.net/peps/pep-0253.html Kirby
