classmethod()
classmethod() is a Python function in the Built-in Functions category. Transforms a method into a class method (receives the class as first arg). The syntax is classmethod(function). Parameters: function — the method to wrap. Returns: Class method descriptor. A typical example: class C:
@classmethod
def f(cls):
print(cls.__name__). A close sibling is print(), which prints objects to the text stream, separated by `sep` and followed by `end`. A close sibling is len(), which returns the length (number of items) of an object. Works with sequences, collections, and strings. A close sibling is range(), which returns an immutable sequence of numbers. Commonly used in for loops. A close sibling is type(), which returns the type of an object, or creates a new type with three arguments.
