[IronPython] Static methods that look similar to instance methods?

[Martin Maly]

IronPython uses the style of the call to determine which of the 2 methods it will prefer:

Class.Method(instance, parameter)       ... will prefer static method
instance.Method(parameter)              ... will prefer instance method

So this should work. However, we made changes to the overload resolution code recently so this may be a case that escaped us. I'll file a bug and hopefully we'll get to it before the next beta.

Quite right.

Well, it's not my code, it's from the Managed DirectX API.
