instance + classmethod question

[Laszlo Zsolt Nagy]

  Hello Steven,

I already implemented this using the form

@classmethod
def  methodname(cls,other_params,self=None)

but your example code looks so neat! This is exactly what I needed. :-)
In my methods, most code is about string manipulation and calling other 
classmethods.
There are only a few places where I can use an instance, but it is not 
required.
I would like to reuse as most code as possible, so I do not want to 
create two different
methods. That would result in duplicating code. Now the only problem is 
how I name this.
It is not a classmethod, but it is also not a normal method. All right, 
it is a
"ClassOrInstanceMethod". Amazing! Probably Python is the only language 
that is
flexible enough to do this. :-)

Thanks again!

   Laszlo
