One month only? You must be pretty smart, one could easily extract
a book from that page ;)

>I am still trying to grasp the 'purpose' of classmethods.

In my personal opinion classmethods and staticmethods could (and
possibly
should) be removed from the language; a part for that consideration,
the typical
use for classmethods is as object factories, to provide alternative
constructors.
