How to access class method within class but outside class methods or member functions?

Question

Say, the code is

class A():
    @staticmethod
    getB():
        return ['B', 'BB']

    list_B = A.getB()

How would I access function B() within the class that's outside of any function? In the code snippet, A isn't being recognized as a valid variable/class.

Answer 1

You have 2 possibilities :

• use getB.__func__()
• use A.getB() in another function within the class

Try this :

class A():
    @staticmethod
    def getB():
        return ['B', 'BB']

    list_B = getB.__func__()
    print("list_B_1", list_B)

    def foobar(self):
        list_B_2 = A.getB()
        print("list_B_2", list_B_2)

a = A()
a.foobar()
