Uh. I do this all the time, and the answer is simply: don't make that a
staticmethod. Staticmethods are for the rare case where you need
dynamic class-based dispatch but don't have an instance around.
class A:
def _myinitializer():
do strange stuff here
_myinitializer()
del _myinitializer # optional
A bientot,
Armin
