Just inside the class, but **without** the self parameter. Given file
Foo.py:

class Foo:
    # constructor
    def __init__( self ):
        pass
   =20
    # an instance method
    def fooMethod( self, argument ):
        print "called fooMethod(%s)" % argument
       =20
    # a 'static' method
    def myfunc( id ):
        print "called myfunc(%s)" % id


Then you can call myfunc 'statically':

jython -i Foo.py
>>> Foo.myfunc( "hello" )
called myfunc(hello)
>>> foo =3D Foo()
>>> foo.fooMethod( "hi" )
called fooMethod(hi)
>>>=20


Hope this helps,
