By not using a double underscore. It is effectless on classes anyway
(they are not hidden because of that).

And additionally, but simply not using staticmethods at all. It's a
rather obscure feature of python - usually, classmethods are what is
considered a static method in other languages. And with that, even your
double underscores work:

class __internal_class(object):
    @classmethod
    def meth1(cls, s):
        print "meth1:", s

    @classmethod
    def meth2(cls, s):
        print "meth2:",
        cls.meth1(s)

x = __internal_class()

x.meth2('sdf')
