staticmethod is not a function, it's a class.

It's easy to figure this out once you understand how Python turns 
functions into methods: http://wiki.python.org/moin/FromFunctionToMethod

Basically, the staticmethod type acts as a descriptor wrapper around the 
function object that short-circuits the function object's own descriptor 
implementation and yields the function.
