Python: check if method is static

by

Lets experiment a bit:

>>> import types
>>> class A:
...   def f(self):
...     return 'this is f'
...   @staticmethod
...   def g():
...     return 'this is g'
...
>>> a = A()
>>> a.f
<bound method A.f of <__main__.A instance at 0x800f21320>>
>>> a.g
<function g at 0x800eb28c0>
>>> isinstance(a.g, types.FunctionType)
True
>>> isinstance(a.f, types.FunctionType)
False

So it looks like you can use types.FunctionType to distinguish static methods.
