No, that's the standard definition of "static" in a certain category of languages such as C. Python has "static methods" and they don't happen at compile-time: "staticmethod" is a regular callable which is invoked at runtime.
"Static method" is a quite different meaning of static - they always execute at run-time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_(computer_programming)#Static_methods ChrisA
